It seems you failed to read the very first paragraph of the link you provided in the OP.
Three of the leading candidates to be Michigan's next chief executive have benefited from large sums of cash that can't be easily followed to their original sources because of federal laws allowing not-for-profit organizations to influence elections outside of the state's campaign finance law.
And as I have said (along with providing a link to support my assertion), the laws allowing non-profits to do this with "dark money" are a Republican initiative/priority.
