Group: Toss campaign rules

It wants laws struck down by next week

LONGMONT — A group suing the city over its campaign-finance rules asked a federal court judge Friday to deem those laws unenforceable — and to do it by next week.

A group of Longmont residents, including two former mayors, sued the city last month over its recently revamped Longmont Fair Campaign Practices Act, saying it chills their rights to free speech.

Their attorneys on Friday filed documents in U.S. District Court in Denver asking the court to immediately deem city campaign-finance rules null and void because of the impending election. 

Election Day is Nov. 3, and ballots for the all mail-in election will start arriving in voters’ mailboxes in less than two weeks, said Scott Gessler, the attorney representing the group.
