What are nonprofit independent groups that receive and distribute funds to influence the nomination election and defeat of a candidate?
Nonprofit independent groups that receive and distribute funds to influence elections are often referred to as "political action committees" (PACs) or "super PACs." These organizations can raise unlimited funds from individuals, corporations, and unions to support or oppose candidates, typically through advertising and grassroots campaigns. Unlike traditional PACs, super PACs are allowed to operate independently of a candidate's campaign, which allows for greater financial influence in elections.
