FEC Asks Congress to Ban Prechecked Recurring Donation Boxes


The Federal Election Commission (FEC) Voted Unanimously, on Thursday, to Recommend that Congress Ban Political Campaigns from Guiding Donors, by Default, into Recurring Contributions through Prechecked Boxes.

This is a Month after, a New York Times Investigation, showed that Trump’s Political Operation had steered Huge Numbers of Unwitting Supporters into Repeated Donations through that Tactic.

The Bipartisan Commission, which Serves as the Nation’s Top Election Watchdog Agency, is Divided evenly between Three Democratic Ccommissioners and Three Republicans.

But this Composition often Leads to Stalemate.

Commissioners of Both Parties, including Three Republicans Appointed by Trump, came together to ask Congress to Strengthen Campaign Finance Law to Protect Online Donors.

As someone who is, the U.S. Representative and CIO of a Charity in Kenya, I would rather see the Recurring Box be an Opt-In instead of a Opt-Out.
