DEFEATED (for now) "Digital Campaign Finance Disclosure Changes" (NC House Bill 700)

12Jul19 UPDATE: Digital electioneering bill is dead, but it is not buried​

House Bill 700 is an incumbency protection bill that will expand the legislature's restricting on free political speech.

• House Bill 700 seeks to impose restrictions on online political speech that would mostly affect political newcomers and challengers
• Overseas troll factories and dark money groups would not be impeded by proposed changes in the law
• The bill would impose barriers to political speech on a forum that lends itself to a freer sharing of ideas
