Dedefensa.org : Accueil DIW Berlin Blog Wednesday's Supreme Court decision in McCutcheon v. FEC has brought a lot of speculation about the likely growth in the role of big donors now that overall limits on donations to parties, PACs and candidates have been demolished. But what effect will the ruling have on the share of campaign contributions coming from men versus women? In the 2012 election cycle, 644 individual donors hit the aggregate limit of $117,000. Women are a majority of the population, but a minority of campaign donors and a smaller minority of maxed-out campaign donors. And if married couples are excluded, the percentage of women drops even lower. That's right in line with the gender division among donors to outside money groups like super PACs, which can accept checks of any size and were not directly affected by McCutcheon. The evidence strongly suggests that men make up a bigger share of the donor pool when contribution limits are higher -- or nonexistent.
