I'm sorry to be so dense, but how I don't see how that jibes with this paragraph later on in the same story:

If there's a limit for the general election, that necessarily implies people can give funds no? And if she's asking for exactly those statutory limits, it sounds like she's nominally still staying in bounds. What am I missing?
Again, so to be so dense, but I'm not getting this.
