Yesterday I wrote this post about a new CRS report which mentions the FEC’s potential role in enforcing the DISCLOSE Act, if it passes. I have now received a copy of the report and posted it here. Here is the relevant language about the FEC:

Importantly, FECA requires that adopting rules and developing forms (among other provisions) requires affirmative votes from at least four of the six Commissioners. A series of deadlocked votes (e.g., 3-3 ties) among members of the current Commission, however, suggests that disagreement among Commissioners is possible–particularly on controversial or ambiguous aspects of the legislation.55 If disagreements resulted in deadlock or failure to implement the law as Congress intends, the DISCLOSE Act’s effectiveness could be delayed or compromised.
