A.P. offers this report, which begins: “The Federal Election Commission on Thursday backed a group’s plan to gather donations for the Democratic presidential nominee months before the candidate is picked, turning aside concerns raised by commission lawyers. The political action committee, known as WE LEAD, would be able to give an unlimited total to the Democratic nominee-to-be instead of facing the $5,000-per-candidate limit applied to other PACs. Each individual sending a check to the group earmarked for the ‘presumptive nominee’ could give up to $2,000.”
