Ban Foreign Spending on State Ballot Referendums

CALL HOUSE SPEAKER RITTER - PASS SENATE BILL 431 NOW

"It may be hard to imagine that Putin will interfere in Connecticut’s electoral process, but it would not be illegal because neither federal nor state election law bars foreign entities from contributing unlimited amounts of funds to influence the outcome of a state ballot referendum.
