End Citizens United PAC v. FEC, No. 22-5277 (D.C. Cir. 2024)
Annotate this CaseIn a case concerning allegations that New Republican PAC and Senator Rick Scott violated several election laws, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the dismissal of two administrative complaints made by End Citizens United PAC. The first complaint alleged that Scott became a "candidate" the same month he became chairman of New Republican, failed to register his campaign until nearly a year later, and failed to make the necessary filings and reports to the Federal Election Commission. The Commission dismissed this complaint based on prosecutorial discretion. The second complaint alleged unlawful coordination between Scott and New Republican, asserting that New Republican had improperly contributed to Scott's campaign by coordinating with Scott to purchase commercials. The Commission dismissed this complaint for lack of evidence supporting the coordination claim. The Court of Appeals held that the dismissal of the first complaint was unreviewable due to it being based on prosecutorial discretion, and that the dismissal of the second complaint was not contrary to law.
