United States Ninth Circuit
Family PAC v. McKenna, 10-35832
In an appeal from a judgment of the district court preserving and stricking certain provisions of Washington State's election law as applied to PACs, judgment is affirmed where: 1) Washington Revised Code sections 42.17.090 and 390-16-034 survive constitutional scrutiny because they are substantially related to the important governmental interest in informing the electorate; but 2) Revised Code section 42.17.105(8) fails because it is not closely drawn to achieve such interest.
