The findings are drawing concerns from government watchdog groups, who say it could lead to a slippery slope that will make it harder for many candidates to compete in Wisconsin elections. Wisconsin Democracy Campaign executive director Mike McCabe says that, if the decision is allowed to stand, it will lead “to even more dark money and even more concentration of political power in very few hands, than what we have today.” McCabe also disagrees with Judge Rudolph Randa’s assertion that conservative groups are not able to influence conservative candidates on issues where both already largely agree. He calls it a “preposterous argument” that will only allow those who agree with the wealthiest donors to successfully run for political office.
