thread_title: 2008 Presidential template?

message: The FEC is going through massive changes. here's a link. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/21/AR2007122102299.html please add this info into the article. 70.247.72.47 (talk) 00:02, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Changes

message: The positions of Chair and Vice Chair for 2009 have not been updated to reflect the information on the FEC official website. President Obama has nominated a replacement for one of the Democrats, and he can be expected to nominate replacements for other Commissioners whose terms are now expired. Of course, any nominees must be confirmed by the Senate. This article needs updating, but perhaps it is best done after the nominees are known. --DThomsen8 (talk) 10:56, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

message: All of the Commissioners listed are current members, but the reappointments and expirations of their new terms are not. I would hope that someone would bring this page up to date. Activist (talk) 19:25, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

message: "Defenders of the agency point out, however, that the Commissioners rarely divide evenly along partisan lines,"  -Reference needed:  An editorial in the NYT of March 11, 2011 says just the opposite is happening now (He refers to cases where the Republicans regularly refuse to votte against violators).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.225.34.170 (talk) 10:11, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I never do anything with my account, so I'm not savvy at all when it comes to editing pages and other community-related activities. Otherwise, I would flag this myself. I just don't know how. G8tr1522 (G8tr1522) 11:20, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Hello, I am proposing the following addition to the Deadlocks section of the article. Let me know if you have any concerns or feedback.
"In June 2023, the FEC deadlocked over requests to create guidelines for campaign advertisements which use content generated by artificial intelligence. The the vote failed 3-3 with all Republican commissioners voting against the request and all Democratic commissioners voting in favor, with Republican commissioner Allen Dickerson arguing that the agency did not have the authority to regulate such advertisements." How an FEC deadlock is deterring a push to regulate AI in campaigns  Jdoebler (talk) 03:24, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
