Republicans Block Bill to Disclose Dark Money

“Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked legislation requiring disclosure of so-called ‘dark money’ in elections,” the HuffPost reports.

Washington Post: “Spending in election cycles by corporations and the ultrawealthy through so-called dark money groups has skyrocketed since the 2010 Supreme Court decision Citizens United v. FEC, which allowed incorporated entities and labor unions to spend unlimited amounts of money to promote or attack candidates.”
