Judge Allows Unusual G.O.P. Strategy to Pump Money Into Senate Races
Briefly

A federal judge has ruled that Senate Republicans can legally classify ad spending as fundraising appeals, allowing them to bypass strict campaign spending limits.
Judge Randolph D. Moss stated that he was unpersuaded to ban the practice since both Democrat and Republican campaign committees operate on an even playing field.
House Democrats' campaign arm previously sued the Federal Election Commission, arguing that Republicans' fundraising strategy should be either banned or made available to them.
Republicans could gain a significant advantage in the Senate races where they are aiming to regain control, especially as polls show close contests.
