What we know:The lawsuit was filed by an independent political action committee tied to Brad Raffensperger, arguing that current law allows his potential opponent, Burt Jones, to raise unlimited funds while Raffensperger’s PAC faces restrictions.
Attorneys asked the court to waive those limits during the campaign, but the judge ruled that the legal standard to grant such relief had not been met.
