“Truth-in-campaign law struck down”

The Seattle Times offers this report about this opinion issued by a Court of Appeals in Washington state. For those who teach election law using Lowenstein & Hasen, this case is a follow on to the “119 Vote No! Committee” case in the campaigns chapter. In the new case, the court held that the false campaign speech law violated the Constitution because it was not limited to defamatory false campaign speech.
