Editorial: Super PACs will rule if Congress doesn't act

The publication Politico reports that the brains behind the Our Destiny political action committee, which has spent $1.86 million touting the presidential candidacy of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, has applied to the Federal Election Commission for permission to file disclosure reports on a monthly basis, instead of quarterly.

The effect is that the committee won't have to file its disclosure report this week, before the New Hampshire primary, but rather can wait until Jan. 31, long after the New Hampshire votes have been counted. As a result, voters won't know the identities of the contributors who gave the $1.86 million until after they've gone to the polls.
