“Citizens United aftermath affecting states’ uniqueness, speakers at UM say”

Missoulian:

Montana is different. For years, the Copper Kings wielded undue influence on the state’s elections.

New Hampshire is different. Its 400-member House of Representatives makes for one lawmaker for every 3,500 residents.

Contrast that with California, where each state senator represents about 1 million residents. That’s pretty different.

Don’t forget about Nebraska, whose unicameral legislature is nonpartisan. Different.

Given such variety among all the states, professor William Marshall of the University of North Carolina School of Law wondered, why should campaign finance laws apply uniformly?
