WinRed, the online donation platform for Republicans, tried to stymie a state investigation into their recurring donation practices. The court wasn't having it.
, the Eighth Circuit of Appeals rejected WinRed’s argument that federal campaign finance laws preempt state attorneys general from enforcing state-level consumer protection laws, writing that “WinRed errs from the start” and “Minnesota’s deceptive-practices prohibition applies to WinRed and General Ellison can investigate whether WinRed violated it.
However, the ruling offered WinRed a glimmer of hope. The court said the platform “may not be without recourse” in state court, which can restrict “overbroad” investigations. One judge wrote separately that Ellison has requested “an extraordinary amount of sensitive information from a political organization, some of which has a tenuous relationship, at best, with the AG’s investigation.”
