Bloomberg BNA: “The Federal Election Commission Oct. 4 deadlocked once again on whether to begin writing new disclosure regulations in light of recent court decisions that have raised questions about the adequacy of current rules. The commissioners split 3-3, along party lines, in a vote during an FEC open meeting on a motion to initiate a rulemaking. The vote came in response to the latest major court decision in a case spearheaded by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) (Van Hollen v. FEC, 9/18/12D.C. Cir., Nos. 12-5117 and 12-5118, 9/18/12; 3351 Money & Politics Report, 9/19/12).”
