It's the reverse scenario. It's not a factual problem, I think it's a drafting problem. If you look at proposed section 476.02, it's for a nomination contest. It's mirrored in the leadership contest definition. The definition proposes that it capture, and I'll only read excerpts, any cost that “was incurred for or that was received as a non-monetary contribution“...“used to directly promote or oppose a registered party, its leader, a nomination contestant or a candidate during a nomination contest”.
This is not a nomination contest expense. The only one that's relevant here is the expense incurred to promote the nomination contestant.
