Statement from Sec. Bennett re: U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to vacate stay in Clean Elections case

“Justice Kennedy's order clarifies election rules and provides a measure of needed certainty to candidates preparing for 2010 primary contests for which early voting begins in less than 60 days. Broader questions involving the constitutionality of matching provisions under the state's Clean Elections system will likely be left to a full hearing by the U.S. Supreme Court, which is appropriate.”
