Members of the Federal Election Commission tend not to agree on much. The nation's top watchdog agency for election laws is divided evenly between Democratic and Republican members, and since they tend to vote along party lines, the FEC routinely deadlocks on important issues.

Indeed, we learned this week that FEC officials recommended further investigation into Donald Trump's alleged campaign-finance misdeeds, but nothing happened because of the stalemate between the divided commissioners.

With this context in mind, it was striking to see FEC members vote unanimously on an increasingly important issue. The New York Times reported:

The Federal Election Commission voted unanimously on Thursday to recommend that Congress ban political campaigns from guiding donors by default into recurring contributions through prechecked boxes, a month after a New York Times investigation showed that former President Donald J. Trump's political operation had steered huge numbers of unwitting supporters into repeated donations through that tactic.

FEC members, including those appointed by Trump, specifically asked Congress to protect the public and prospective donors by strengthen campaign-finance laws.
