Who Funds That? EP14: The Foreign Funding Election Loophole
About this episode
The episode discusses the loophole in federal election funding laws that allows foreign nationals to influence elections through charitable organizations.
It is supposed to be the law that foreigners, people who do not have citizenship or permanent residency, cannot fund federal election campaigns. But our colleague Parker Thayer notes that there is a giant loophole in this prohibition—one that the government needs to take seriously—namely, the charitable election sector (which maybe also shouldn’t exist). He joins us today to discuss foreign nationals, charities, and elections.
