Ken Doyle for Bloomberg BNA:

The Federal Election Commission appeared to be moving toward a deadlocked vote in a ruling over the legality of activities by single-candidate super PACs in the 2016 campaign.

Commissioners postponed a final vote following a discussion at a commission meeting Oct. 29 of a key advisory opinion (AO 2015-09). The vote on the ruling, requested by prominent Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, was delayed until the next scheduled FEC meeting Nov. 10.

But, discussion at the FEC meeting indicated that the commissioners were unlikely to reach consensus on some, if not all, the questions raised in the Elias request.
