thank you. [ applause ] >> hi, my name is brendon fisher. i'm general council with the center of media democracy. as taylor said there's a lot of groups that have been pushing the envelope by forming these single candidate pacts that technically avoid coordinating but others have asserted that the coordination rules really don't apply at all. the most glaring example of this is wisconsin where republican and democratic prosecutors have been investigating possible coordination between governor walker's campaign and independent groups like wisconsin corporate growth which spent millions in the elections and funneled more to other groups. the walker campaign have fought back not by arguing coordination but allowing that the rules don't apply unless they have the words vote for or vote against. if this were the case, there would be nothing stopping a candidate, special interests from speaking favors but public scrutiny could curry faf withvor with candidates without facing questions from the media. in fact this is what happened in wisconsin. as
