Michigan Proposal 2 on corporate political giving heads to court fight
Original: Proposal 2 targets political giving by businesses. A court fight is a sure bet.
A Michigan ballot measure, Proposal 2, would restrict political contributions by businesses, and legal observers widely expect an immediate court challenge if it passes. Critics argue the limits would face First Amendment obstacles, while supporters frame the proposal as curbing corporate influence in elections. The anticipated litigation is shaping up as the measure's defining storyline heading into and after Election Day.
Why now: A ballot measure restricting corporate political spending is likely to trigger immediate constitutional litigation, drawing attention to its fate.
