Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity
- POL-3.13: On 29 April 2021 the attorneys general of New York, Connecticut, Maryland and Minnesota wrote to WinRed about pre-checked recurring boxes, and on 6 May 2021 the FEC asked Congress to require affirmative consent for recurring contributions and to bar implied consent through pre-checked boxes. In 2023 the Eighth Circuit held in WinRed v. Ellison that federal election law did not block the Minnesota investigation.
- POL-3.16: WinRed's published account states that ActBlue pioneered recurring and pre-checked boxes and that pre-checked boxes appeared on ActBlue pages for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. One press account reports that ActBlue began phasing them out in July 2021.
