See this news from New Hampshire, which begins: City officials plan no action against newly elected councilor David Scott, who violated campaign rules by overspending during his race for the City Council. But they indicated that if a resident files a complaint the city will investigate it. A subsequent court decision could disqualify the defendant and allow for fines.” Another snippet: “On election day, Scott said he was aware of the spending limits, but feels they do not apply as the Constitution of the United States gives him the right to spend as much as he wants to promote himself. According to the documents he filed, Scott only received $1,095 from others, but contributed $626 of his own money.”
