The pre-election limit, of course, only applies if an election is held on a fixed election date. Otherwise, it doesn't apply. That's the total amount that one voter can spend to influence an election. It's just ridiculous to allow that, especially when it's the same amount for a group that represents tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of voters. One voter only represents one voter. They shouldn't be allowed to spend more than a couple of hundred dollars.
