Money raised and spent under these laws to directly influence federal elections is commonly known as hard money. Money that is largely outside the restrictions and prohibitions of the federal regulatory framework\u2013but raised and spent in a manner suggesting possible intent to affect federal elections\u2013is commonly known as soft money.",
