Maine voters have approved a referendum limiting individual donations to political action committees (PACs) at $5,000, setting the stage for potential legal challenges regarding super PAC funding in elections. Supporters, including state officials and advocacy groups, believe this initiative aims to reduce the undue influence of money in politics, especially following the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision which allowed unlimited PAC spending. The law is expected to take effect this winter unless contested in court.
