Practice question
A candidate is found, through the required process, to have solicited a contribution prohibited by a provision expressly identified in Section 68(d). No transfer of money was completed. The candidate argues that solicitation can never be covered without receipt. Which is correct?
- Receipt is the only verb in Section 68(d).
- The subsection separately covers prohibited solicitation, so absence of completed receipt does not by itself defeat that ground.
- Solicitation automatically becomes a lawful contribution.
- Every request for any lawful donation is necessarily prohibited.
- Only the contributor can ever be a respondent.
