Secret Cash Dominates in State Court Races Unidentified contributors are pumping big money into key races

Interesting tidbit...

"Alabama led all states in terms of total money spent on Supreme Court campaigns between 2000 and 2009, according to the Brennan Center. The center spotlights one case in which six partners from the Montgomery law firm Beasley Allen gave $606,000 to a Democratic candidate for the Alabama Supreme Court in 2008, funneling 52 checks through political action committees. The money was then transferred to the state Democratic Party, which sent it to candidate Deborah Bell Paseur without disclosing contributors' identities. Paseur lost despite this support."
