Recent federal court activity has dramatically changed the
regulatory environment of campaign finance in the United States.
Since 2010, the judiciary has decided that corporations and labor
unions may freely spend in American elections, and that so-called
"Super PACs" can accept unlimited contributions from private
citizens for the purpose of buying election advertising. Despite
the potential for such unregulated contributions to dramatically
alter the conduct of campaigns, little is known about where Super
PACs get their money, where they spend it, or how their message
compares with other political groups. Moreover, we know almost
nothing about whether individual citizens even notice Super PACs,
or whether they distinguish between Super PAC activity and
political activity by other political groups. This book addresses
those questions. Using campaign finance data, election returns,
advertising archives, a public opinion survey, and interviews with
congressional candidates in the 2012 election, Super PAC! provides
unprecedented insight into the behavior of these organizations, and
how they affect public opinion and voting behavior. The first
in-depth exploration of the topic, this book will make significant
contributions in both political science and applied policy.
