    The Seattle chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has joined the Public Citizen Litigation Group in backing the protest of electrician James Hughes against restrictive election campaigning rules adopted by IBEW Local 46, rules that limit access to the internet and forbid campaigning in the union hall. In the first stages of this case, Hughes won a partial victory: the local backed off and modified one rule; but a federal district court upheld the local on another.
