Web Site Restrictions Hobble Senate Campaigns

Federal government web sites are updated regularly, but the sites of Senators running for re-election cannot be updated within 60 days of a primary or the election according to U.S. Senate Internet Services Usage Rules and Policies. Consequently, a tool acknowledged to be a key asset in maintaining effective communication with consitutents is off-limits. See this Washington Post article and this USA Today article on the issue.
