EDITH BROWN CLEMENT, Circuit Judge: To form a “general-purpose committee” — a type of political action committee devoted to promoting a particular point of view — in Texas, a group of persons must appoint a committee treasurer and register with the Texas Election Commission. The nascent general-purpose committee must then collect contributions from ten contributors, and wait sixty days before exceeding $500 in contributions and expenditures. And even after collecting contributions from ten donors and waiting sixty days, the political committee is forever barred from accepting corporate contributions unless the committee solely engages in independent expenditures. Plaintiffs-Appellants, three general-purpose political committees and one nonprofit corporation, raise facial and as-applied First Amendment challenges to the treasurer-appointment requirement, the ten-contributor requirement, and the 60-day, 500-dollar contribution and expenditure limit. One of the general-purpose committees and the nonprofit corporation also bring a First Amendment challenge to the corporate contribution ban as-applied to a proposed contribution of an email contact list from the nonprofit corporation to the general-purpose committee. The general-purpose committee avers that the email contact list will only be used in support of independent expenditures. The district court, after determining that the case was not moot, upheld the constitutionality of all of the challenged provisions of the Texas Election Code on cross-motions for summary judgment. We now hold that the treasurer-appointment requirement and the corporate contribution ban are constitutional. However, we conclude that the 60-day, 500-dollar contribution and expenditure limit as well as the ten-contributor requirement are facially unconstitutional under the First Amendment. We therefore AFFIRM IN PART; REVERSE and RENDER IN PART; and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. I. A. Because this appeal concerns the intersection of various limitations on the behavior of, and permissible donations to, political committees in Texas, we first review the relevant definitions and regulations in the Texas Election Code. 1. Under Texas law, a political committee is “a group of persons that has as a principal purpose accepting political contributions or making political expenditures.” Tex. Elec.Code § 251.001(I2). The Election Code further distinguishes between two different types of committees: general-purpose committees and specific-purpose committees. A general-purpose committee is a political committee that has “among its principal purposes”: (A) supporting or opposing: (i) two or more candidates who are unidentified or are seeking offices that are unknown; or (ii) one or more measures that are unidentified; or (B) assisting two or more officeholders who are unidentified. Tex. Elec.Code § 251.001(14). A political committee that is dedicated to supporting candidates of a particular point of view (e.g., pro-life or pro-choice candidates) is a general-purpose committee because the committee’s fidelity lies with the committee’s particular perspective rather than any specific candidates. In such circumstances, the candidates supported by the committee are formally considered to be “unidentified” because candidates can gain or lose the committee’s support depending on their policy positions. Finally, for the purpose of determining general-purpose committee status, all that matters is that some of the committee’s activities qualify as the activities of a general-purpose committee. Texas law contrasts general-purpose committees with specific-purpose committees. Specific-purpose committees are defined in opposition to a general-purpose committee — they are those committees that do “not have among its principal purposes those of a general-purpose committee,” but rather have as a “primary purpose”: (A) supporting or opposing one or more: (i) candidates, all of whom are identified and are seeking offices that are known; or (ii) measures, all of which are identified; (B) assisting one or more officeholders, all of whom are identified; or (C) supporting or opposing only one candidate who is unidentified or who is seeking an office that is unknown. Tex. Elec.Code § 251.001(13). Committees supporting or opposing a particular candidate {e.g., Friends of Jefferson Smith, Opponents of Joseph Paine) named in the committee’s disclosures to the Texas Ethics Commissions constitute specific-purpose committees. Texas also has two broad categories of political spending: contributions and expenditures. A contribution is “a direct or indirect transfer of money, goods, services, or any other thing of value and includes an agreement made or other obligation incurred, whether legally enforceable or not, to make a transfer.” Id. § 251.001(2). A “political contribution” includes both campaign contributions — contributions that are “offered or given with the intent that it be used in connection with a campaign for elective office or on a measure,” regardless of when the contribution is made, id. § 251.001(3) — and officeholder contributions — contributions that are “offered or given with the intent that it be used to defray expenses that: (A) are incurred by the officeholder in performing a duty or engaging in an activity in connection with the office; and (B) are not reimbursable with public money.” Id. § 251.001(4); see also id. § 251.001(5) (defining political contribution). Donations to either a candidate or a political committee (whether general-purpose or specific-purpose) count as contributions. See id. § 251.001(3)-(4). Meanwhile, an expenditure is “a payment of money or any other thing of value and includes an agreement made or other obligation incurred, whether legally enforceable or not, to make a payment.” Id. § 251.001(6). And, as with the definition of “political contribution,” a “political expenditure” includes both “officeholder” expenditures and “campaign” expenditures. Id. § 251.001(10). • An officeholder expenditure is an “expenditure made by any person to defray expenses that: (A) are incurred by an officeholder in performing a duty or engaging in an activity in connection with the office; and (B) are not reimbursable with public money.” Id. § 251.001(9). • A “campaign expenditure” is “an expenditure made by any person in connection with a campaign for an elective office or on a measure,” regardless of when it was made. Id. § 251.001(7). In addition, Texas further denotes what will be an important subset of campaign expenditures: “direct campaign expenditures.” Under Texas law, a “direct campaign expenditure” is “a campaign expenditure that does not constitute a campaign contribution by the person making the expenditure.” Id. § 251.001(8). Thus only expenditures made without the prior consent or approval of a candidate for office constitute “direct campaign expenditures” (otherwise, the expenditure would also count as a political contribution). Accordingly, the Texas Supreme Court has explained that “direct campaign expenditures” constitute the equivalent of “independent expenditures” under federal campaign finance law. See Osterberg v. Peca, 12 S.W.3d 31, 36 n. 2 (Tex.2000). This opinion will refer to direct campaign expenditures as independent expenditures in order to avoid confusion. 2. The Texas Election Code regulates the formation of general-purpose committees. Chief among the provisions governing the formation of general-purpose committees is Texas Election Code § 253.037(a). Section 253.037(a) provides that: A general-purpose committee may not knowingly make or authorize a political contribution or political expenditure unless the committee has: (1) filed its campaign treasurer appointment not later than the 60th day before the date the contribution or expenditure is made; and (2) accepted political contributions from at least 10 persons. In addition to § 253.037(a), Texas Election Code § 253.031(b) provides that: A political committee may not knowingly accept political contributions totaling more than $500 or make or authorize political expenditures totaling more than $500 at a time when a campaign treasurer appointment for the committee is not in effect. The two provisions stand uncomfortably together. Based on the plain text of § 253.037(a) a political committee may engage in no expenditures until a committee treasurer has been appointed and sixty days have passed. By contrast, the plain text of § 253.031(b) permits a political committee to engage in $500 of expenditures before the appointment of a campaign treasurer. The Texas Ethics Commission resolved the tension between the two provisions in a 1993 ethics opinion. The Commission reads the two provisions together to prohibit a general-purpose committee from making or authorizing “political expenditures totaling more than $500 unless the committee has (1) filed its campaign treasurer appointment no later than the 60th day before the date the expenditure is made that causes the total expenditure to exceed $500, and (2) accepted political contributions from at least 10 persons.” Tex. Ethics Comm’n, Ethics Advisory Op. No. 161 (1993). Accordingly, at present under Texas law, there are three prerequisites that a general-purpose committee must meet before it can fully engage in the political activity otherwise permitted by law: • Appoint a committee treasurer (the “treasurer appointment requirement”). The treasurer plays a central role in ensuring compliance with Texas’s disclosure requirements. • Engage in less than an aggregate $500 of political expenditures and political contributions for a 60-day window after the treasurer is appointed (the “60-day, 500-dollar limit”). The 60-day, 500-dollar limit does not apply to a general-purpose committee affiliated with a federal multicandidate political committee registered with the Federal Elections Commission. See Tex. Elec. Code § 253.037(c). • Receive donations from ten contributors (the “ten-contributor requirement”). A violation of these requirements is a Class A misdemeanor under Texas law. See id. §§ 253.031(f), .037(d). Texas claims that these restrictions are modeled on the prerequisites for obtaining federal multicandidate political committee status. In order to be classified as a multicandidate political committee under federal law, a political committee must (1) have been registered as a political committee with the FEC for six months, (2) received contributions from fifty persons, and (3) made contributions to at least five candidates for federal office. See 2 U.S.C. § 441a(a)(4); 11 C.F.R. § 100.5(e)(3). Once a committee obtains federal multi-candidate committee status, the committee is rewarded with higher base contribution limits to candidates, parties, and political committees. See 2 U.S.C. § 441a(a)(2). There are, however, a couple of relevant differences between federal multicandidate committees and general-purpose committees in Texas. For example, whereas committees waiting to obtain federal multican-didate committee status are permitted to engage in unlimited independent expenditures, Texas limits general-purpose committees to only $500 of independent expenditures. See Tex. Ethics Comm’n, Ethics Advisory Op. No. 161 (1993). Further, whereas federal political committees that do not qualify as a multicandidate committee are still permitted to engage in contributions provided that they comply with the base per-candidate, per-party, and per-committee contribution limits applicable to individual contributors, Texas limits newly-formed general-purpose committees to an aggregate $500 in political contributions. Despite the restrictive limits on general-purpose committees set out by Texas Election Code § 253.037(a), the committee may generally engage in unlimited expenditures and contributions once it has complied. And once a general-purpose committee has complied with § 253.037(a), Texas law also grants that general-purpose committee certain advantages over specific-purpose committees. Unlike specific-purpose committees, general-purpose committees are not required to identify the specific candidates or measures that the committee supports or opposes. See Tex. Elec.Code § 251.001(14). And, unlike specific-purpose committees, which are limited in the contributions they can receive during legislative sessions and judicial elections in some circumstances, general-purpose committees may continue to receive contributions. See id. §§ 253.034(a), .153(a). Further, general-purpose and specific-purpose committees have different disclosure obligations in the nine days before an election: general-purpose committees have greater reporting obligations related to independent expenditures than specific-purpose committees, but specific-purpose committees must report a greater number of received contributions. Compare id. § 254.038 (specific-purpose committees), with id. § 254.039 (general-purpose committees). 3. Also at issue are Texas’s restrictions on corporate contributions to political committees. Under Texas law, “[a] corporation or labor organization may not make a political contribution that is not authorized by this subchapter.” Tex. Elec.Code § 253.094(a). Given Texas’s broad definition of what constitutes a political contribution, corporations are generally prohibited from transferring money (or any other thing of value) directly to a candidate or a political committee in connection with a campaign for elective office. Despite the general bar on corporate political contributions, corporations do retain the ability to participate in Texas politics. After Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310, 130 S.Ct. 876, 175 L.Ed.2d 753 (2010), the Texas Legislature amended the Texas Election Code to permit corporations to engage in unlimited independent expenditures directly from corporate funds. See Acts 2011, 82nd Leg. R.S., ch. 1009. Further, our decision in Texans for Free Enterprise v. Texas Ethics Commission approved of corporate contributions to independent-expenditure-only committees. See 732 F.3d 535, 537-38 (5th Cir. 2013). B. 1. Plaintiffs-Appellants are various entities seeking to influence Texas politics. Catholic Leadership Coalition of Texas, primarily known as the Texas Leadership Coalition (“TLC”), is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation whose “mission primarily is to evangelize and to educate the Catholic community with regards to faith and ... the teaching[s] of the church.” TLC seeks to “develop resources and opportunities to inform Catholics about the moral precepts of the Church pertaining to their responsibilities as Catholic voters.” After the May 2012 Texas primary elections, TLC believed it needed to move beyond the education realm and into direct candidate advocacy. On the advice of election lawyers, TLC decided to form a general-purpose committee to engage in direct advocacy. TLC named the new independent entity the Texas Leadership Coalition-Institute for Public Advocacy (“TLC-IPA”). Plaintiff TLC-IPA registered with the Texas Ethics Commission on June 7, 2012. Therefore, under Texas law, TLC-IPA was required to comply with the 60-day, 500-dollar limit until August 6, 2012. Compliance with the 60-day, 500-dollar limit greatly hindered TLC-IPA’s participation in a July 2012 run-off election. Though during the July 2012 run-off election TLC-IPA sought only to make independent expenditures, TLC-IPA has since made a few direct contributions to candidates, and may do so again in the future. Accordingly, TLC-IPA is not an independent-expenditure-only committee. TLC wishes to make an in-kind contribution of its email list to TLC-IPA. TLC-IPA wishes to accept the donation so that it can use TLC’s email list in support of its independent expenditures. However, TLC is barred by doing so by Texas’s ban on corporate contributions to committees because TLC-IPA is not an independent-expenditure-only entity. See Tex. Elee.Code § 253.094(a); see also Texans for Free Enter., 732 F.3d at 537-38 (holding that Texas cannot ban corporate contributions to independent-expenditure-only committees). Plaintiff Friends of SAFA Texas (“FOFSA”) is also a general-purpose committee. FOFSA was formed to fund both independent expenditures and contributions to nonfederal candidates. FOFSA registered with the Texas Ethics Commission on July 19, 2012, and was limited in the political activities it could perform until the 60-day waiting period expired on September 17, 2012. Those requirements precluded FOFSA from engaging in the campaign activities that it wished to, including fully participating in the July 2012 run-off election, as well as opposing the legislative efforts and reelection campaign of then-Mayor Julian Castro. The final general-purpose committee plaintiff, Texas Freedom, registered with the Texas Ethics Commission on June 29, 2012. Texas Freedom wished to contribute campaign services such as phone banking and blockwalking activities to “Hispanic candidates who adhere to core conservative values.” Texas Freedom alleges the 60-day, 500-dollar limit hindered it in its fundraising and organizational efforts, thereby affecting its ability to fully participate in the 2012 elections. 2. Plaintiffs-Appellants Texas Leadership Coalition (the 501(c)(4)) and Texas Leadership Coalition-Institute for Public Advocacy (the general-purpose committee) filed suit in the Western District of Texas on June 28, 2012. They sought a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of Section 253.037(a)’s 60-day, 500-dollar limit, Section 253.037(a)’s ten-contributor requirement, and Section 253.094(a)’s ban on corporate contributions to committees as applied to the in-kind donation of an email contact list from TLC to TLC-IPA. Defendants-Appellees are the members of the Texas Ethics Commission, and Susan Reed, the District Attorney of Bexar County. All are sued in their official capacities, and will collectively be referred to as “Texas.” The district court denied the preliminary injunction request, finding that even though it could not gauge Plaintiffs’ likelihood of success or the possibility of irreparable harm given the last-minute nature of the preliminary injunction request, the balance of hardships and the public interest strongly supported denying an injunction to avoid creating chaos in the Texas campaign finance system so close to an election. Plaintiffs appealed, and a motions panel of this court affirmed. The motions panel noted that “[bjased on the limited record before us, we are unpersuaded that there is a likelihood of success on the merits of Appellants’ First Amendment challenge to the sixty-day waiting period.” Catholic Leadership Coal, of Tex. v. Reisman, 473 Fed.Appx. 402, 403 (5th Cir.2012). The panel therefore concluded that “the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellants’ motion for preliminary injunction.” Id. After the denial of the preliminary injunction, Plaintiffs twice amended the complaint to add Friends of SAFA Texas and Texas Freedom as plaintiffs. The parties cross-moved for summary judgment at the conclusion of discovery. The district court granted summary judgment for Texas. The district court’s summary judgment order began by addressing mootness. Texas argued that Plaintiffs’ challenges to the treasurer-appointment requirement, the ten-contributor requirement, and the 60-day, 500-dollar limit were moot after the general-purpose committees had registered with the Ethics Commission, amassed ten contributors, and sixty days had passed. The court, however, determined that Plaintiffs’ challenges fit within the “disputes capable of repetition yet evading review” exception to mootness. The court found that full litigation of the dispute would be impractical during the 60-day/ten-contributor waiting period, and further held that the Plaintiffs did not have to prove that they would suffer the same injury again because this was an election law dispute. Finally, the court noted that “policy considerations counsel in favor of resolving this case rather than dismissing it,” because starting the case over again with a different organization would be wasteful and “would deprive the numerous other political committees across the state of an opportunity for clarity in the challenged provisions of the Texas Election Code.” The district court then turned to the merits of the dispute. The court first rejected Plaintiffs’ prior restraint arguments. The court distinguished Texas’s campaign-finance rules from unconstitutional prior restraints on the grounds that Texas did not require committees “to seek a license or permit, nor must such committees be ‘approved’ by any authority figure.” Texas’s rules, explained the court, were grounded in preventing circumvention of Texas’s disclosure filing requirements — not licensing speech. Next came Plaintiffs’ challenges under Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 96 S.Ct. 612, 46 L.Ed.2d 659 (1976), to the 60-day, 500-dollar limit and the ten-contributor requirement. The district court characterized the provisions as measures designed to prevent circumvention of Texas’s disclosure requirements, and accordingly chose to apply the level of scrutiny applicable to disclosure regulations when evaluating the challenged provisions’ constitutionality. In doing so, the district court declined to apply the even-more-heightened levels of scrutiny applicable to contribution and expenditure limits. The court determined that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit and the ten-contributor requirement withstood constitutional scrutiny. With respect to the 60-day, 500-dol-lar limit, the court emphasized the extensive alternative methods of engaging in political speech in Texas. Therefore the court characterized the 60-day window as a minor burden — particularly given that by timely registering with the Texas Elections Commission, a general-purpose committee could determine when the 60-day window occurred. The court further found the minor burden imposed was well-justified as an anticircumvention measure that prevented late-forming political committees from being able to avoid Texas’s disclosure requirements. With respect to the ten-contributor requirement, the district court determined the requirement imposed only a minor hurdle and furthered a sufficiently important state interest because it “ensures the committee is actually a committee and not merely an individual seeking to disguise his or her personal contributions.” After dispatching the Plaintiffs’ Buckley challenges to the 60-day, 500-dollar limit and the ten-contributor requirement, the district court turned to the Plaintiffs’ argument that the ten-contributor requirement unconstitutionally forced association because it required members wanting to form a general-purpose committee to associate with ten other individuals before speaking. To determine the constitutionality of the ten-contributor requirement, the district court examined whether Texas “demonstrate[d] a sufficiently important interest and employ[ed] means closely drawn to avoid unnecessary abridgment of associational freedoms.” The court concluded Texas did: the ten-contributor requirement was closely drawn to ensure that general-purpose committees were not utilized by small groups of individuals to evade campaign finance disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the district court granted summary judgment that the ten-contributor requirement was constitutional. Finally, the district court rejected Plaintiffs’ as-applied challenge to the corporate contribution ban. The court determined that, because the committee at issue was not an independent expenditure-only committee, Texas had both an anticorruption and anticircumvention interest in banning corporate contributions to the committee because unlimited corporate contributions to the committee would risk quid pro quo corruption or its appearance. Therefore, the court granted summary judgment for Texas that the corporate contribution ban was constitutional as-applied to the proposed in-kind contribution of the email list. Plaintiffs then filed the instant appeal. Plaintiffs argue that (1) the district court applied the wrong standard of review in rejecting the Buckley challenges to the 60-day, 500-dollar limit and the ten-contributor requirement, and under the proper level of scrutiny both requirements are unconstitutional, (2) the ten-contributor requirement is unconstitutional because it forces association, (3) the treasurer-appointment requirement is an unconstitutional prior restraint, and (4) Texas’s corporate contributions ban to political committees is unconstitutional as-applied. Texas responds that (1) the district court erred in determining that the Plaintiffs’ challenges were not moot, and we lack jurisdiction to consider most of the Plaintiffs’ appeal, and (2) even if this court were to reach the merits of the Plaintiffs’ challenges, the campaign-finance regulations at issue are constitutional, and summary judgment was properly granted. II. This court reviews questions of mootness de novo. See, e.g., Ctr. for Individual Freedom v. Carmouche, 449 F.3d 655, 659 (5th Cir.2006). We also review a district court judgment rendered on cross-motions for summary judgment de novo. First Colony Life Ins. Co. v. Sanford, 555 F.3d 177, 180 (5th Cir.2009). We independently review each motion with its supporting proof. Id. Summary judgment is proper when the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure material on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). III. We address at the outset whether we have jurisdiction to consider all of the Plaintiffs’ claims of unconstitutionality. See Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Env’t, 523 U.S. 83, 93-102, 118 S.Ct. 1003, 140 L.Ed.2d 210 (1988). Texas argues most of the case is moot, and therefore we lack jurisdiction to consider Plaintiffs’ challenges to the 60-day, 500-dollar limit, the ten-contributor requirement, and the treasurer-appointment requirement. A. “A case becomes moot—and therefore no longer a Case or Controversy for purposes of Article III—when the issues presented are no longer live or the parties lack a legally cognizable interest in the outcome.” Already, LLC v. Nike, Inc., — U.S. -, 133 S.Ct. 721, 726, 184 L.Ed.2d 553 (2013) (internal quotation marks omitted). Because sixty days have passed since the general-purpose committees suing here appointed a treasurer and registered with the Texas Ethics Committee, and each committee has amassed ten contributors, Texas Election Code § 253.037(a) no longer limits the committees’ political expenditures or contributions. And if Texas Election Code § 253.037(a) no longer limits the committees’ expenditures and contributions, then Texas suggests the Plaintiffs lack a legally cognizable interest in the outcome of the case because a determination that Texas Election Code § 253.037(a) was unconstitutional would not expand the Plaintiffs’ ability to engage in expenditures or contributions. In response to Texas’s mootness arguments, Plaintiffs invoke the disputes capable of repetition, yet evading review exception to mootness. See, e.g., S. Pac. Terminal Co. v. ICC, 219 U.S. 498, 515-16, 31 S.Ct. 279, 55 L.Ed. 310 (1911). To fall within the exception, a plaintiff must show “(1) the challenged action was in its duration too short to be fully litigated prior to its cessation or expiration, and (2) there was a reasonable expectation that the same complaining party would be subjected to the same action again.” Wilson v. Bimberg, 667 F.3d 591, 596 (5th Cir.2012). A plaintiff seeking to invoke the exception has the burden of demonstrating its applicability. See Libertarian Party v. Dardenne, 595 F.3d 215, 217 (5th Cir.2010). Both parties agree that the first prong of the test is met. See, e.g., FEC v. Wis. Right to Life, Inc., 551 U.S. 449, 462, 127 S.Ct. 2652, 168 L.Ed.2d 329 (2007) (“WRTL II”); Carmouche, 449 F.3d at 661. Instead, they dispute whether Plaintiffs make a “reasonable showing that [they] will again be subjected to the alleged illegality.” City of L.A. v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95, 109, 103 S.Ct. 1660, 75 L.Ed.2d 675 (1983). This case is not moot. The Supreme Court has explained that “[o]ur concern” in capable of repetition, yet evading review cases is “whether the controversy was capable of repetition and not ... whether the claimant had demonstrated that a reoccurrence of the dispute was more probable than not.” Honig v. Doe, 484 U.S. 305, 318 n. 6, 108 S.Ct. 592, 98 L.Ed.2d 686 (1988). Plaintiffs need not demonstrate with “mathematical precision” that they will be subject to the same illegality; rather, Plaintiffs just need to show “a reasonable expectation” that the challenged illegality will reoccur. Id. Plaintiffs make that showing: even though Plaintiffs’ expenditures are no longer limited by § 253.037(a), Plaintiffs’ ability to receive contributions from newly-formed general-purpose committees is still limited by § 253.037(a). Notably, under Texas law, general-purpose committees can contribute to other general-purpose committees provided that the donations are properly disclosed. See, e.g., Tex. Elec.Code § 253.087(b). The treasurer-appointment requirement, 60-day, 500-dollar limit, and ten-contributor requirement therefore affect general-purpose committees in at least two ways: • Until a committee appoints a treasurer, acquires ten contributors, and sixty days pass, § 253.037(a) limits the committee to only $500 worth of expenditures and contributions. • After the 60-day window has passed and the committee has acquired ten contributors, § 253.037(a) limits the committee’s ability to receive contributions from newly-formed general-purpose committees that are subject to § 253.037(a). The continuing limitation that § 253.037(a) creates on a general-purpose committee’s ability to receive contribution establishes a reasonable expectation that these Plaintiffs will again be subjected to the challenged provisions of § 253.037(a). See, e.g., In re Hearst Newspapers, L.L.C., 641 F.3d 168, 175 (5th Cir.2011). That the precise injury the Plaintiffs will suffer is slightly different does not matter: Plaintiffs seeking to invoke the exception need not show they will suffer the exact same injury so long as the injury is caused by the same alleged illegality, and both the contributing and the contributed-to party have sufficient injuries-in-fact to challenge campaign finance restrictions. See, e.g., McCutcheon v. FEC, — U.S. -, 134 S.Ct. 1434, 1443-44, 188 L.Ed.2d 468 (2014) (plurality); In re Cao, 619 F.3d 410, 421 (5th Cir.2010) (en banc). Moreover, the Texas Leadership Coalition (the 501(c)(4)) is not limited to trying to form only one general-purpose committee. As such, given its professed desire to continue trying to educate Catholic voters regarding their religious obligations, it is reasonable to believe that TLC may again be impacted by Tex. Elec.Code § 253.037(a). See, e.g., Bayou Liberty Ass’n, Inc. v. U.S. Army Corps of Eng’rs, 217 F.3d 393, 399 (5th Cir.2000). We conclude Plaintiffs can invoke the disputes capable of repetition, yet evading review exception to mootness. They can show that (1) the challenged action is in its duration too short to be fully litigated pri- or to its cessation or expiration, and (2) there is a reasonable expectation that, as either (i) the forming or (ii) the contributed-to party, the plaintiffs will again be impacted by the treasurer appointment requirement, the 60-day, 500-dollar limit, and the ten-contributor requirement. B. Plaintiffs’ challenge is not moot for an additional reason. Our prior cases, which as a panel of this court we must follow, have concluded that in election law disputes “the Supreme Court has not always required that there be a likelihood that the same complaining party will be subject to the challenged action later.” Wilson, 667 F.3d at 596. Therefore, this court “dis-pens[es] with the same-party requirement” in election law cases, “and focus[es] instead upon the great likelihood that the issue will recur between the defendant and the other members of the public at large.” Kucinich v. Tex. Democratic Party, 563 F.3d 161, 165 (5th Cir.2009) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Moore v. Hosemann, 591 F.3d 741, 744 (5th Cir. 2009). Under the standard articulated in Wilson, Moore, Kucinich, and Carmouche, a plaintiff seeking to invoke the exception must show that “other individuals certainly will be affected by the continuing existence” of the challenged provision. Car-mouche, 449 F.3d at 662. Accordingly, “not every election case fits within the four corners of the capable-of-repetition but evading-review exception.” Wilson, 667 F.3d at 596 (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted). For example, cases involving “strictly personal” harm, id. at 597, or cases where the plaintiffs fail to show that the challenged illegality will again occur, see, e.g., Dardenne, 595 F.3d at 217-18, do not fit within the exception. But, in election law cases such as this one, where (1) the state plans on continuing to enforce the challenged provision, and (2) that provision will affect other members of the public, the exception is met. See, e.g., Moore, 591 F.3d at 745; Kucinich, 563 F.3d at 165; Carmouche, 449 F.3d at 662. IV. A. “The right to participate in democracy through political contributions is protected by the First Amendment, but that right is not absolute.” McCut-cheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1441. We apply the framework begun in Buckley v. Valeo to determine whether a campaign-finance regulation represents an unconstitutional intrusion on protected First Amendment rights. Buckley and its progeny instruct that we should give varying levels of constructional scrutiny to campaign-finance regulations depending on the type of regulation at issue: • Expenditure limitations receive “the exacting scrutiny applicable to limitations on core First Amendment rights of political expression.” Buckley, 424 U.S. at 44-45 [96 S.Ct. 612], A regulation limiting expenditures may only be upheld if the regulation “promotes a compelling interest and is the least restrictive means to further the articulated interest.” McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1444. • Contribution limitations receive a lessened, but nonetheless rigorous, level of scrutiny. Regulations limiting contributions may only be upheld if “the State demonstrates a sufficiently important interest and employs means closely drawn to avoid unnecessary abridgement of associational freedoms.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). • Disclosure and organizational requirements receive a further lessened level of scrutiny. To defend disclosure and organizational requirements, the government must show a “sufficiently important governmental interest that bears a substantial relation” to the requirement. SpeechNow.org v. FEC, 599 F.3d 686, 696 (D.C.Cir.2010) (en banc) (internal quotation marks omitted). Under each of the tests, the government has the burden of demonstrating the constitutionality of its actions. McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1452. For defending expenditure and contribution limitations, the Supreme Court “has identified only one legitimate governmental interest ...: preventing corruption or the appearance of corruption.” McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1450. Moreover, the anticorruption rationale itself “is not boundless.” Emily’s List v. FEC, 581 F.3d 1, 6 (D.C.Cir.2009). Recent Supreme Court case law clarifies that the government’s interest in preventing corruption is limited to preventing quid pro quo corruption or its appearance. McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1450-51. “[G]overnment regulation may not target the general gratitude a candidate may feel toward those who support him or his allies, or the political access such support may afford.” Id. at 1441. “Ingratiation and access ... are not corruption,” Citizens United, 558 U.S. at 360, 130 S.Ct. 876, and “[sjpending large sums of money in connection with elections, but not in connection with an effort to control the exercise of an officeholder’s official duties, does not give rise to ... quid pro quo corruption,” McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1450. And finally, in determining whether the government has demonstrated a legitimate interest in preventing quid pro quo corruption or its appearance, a court cannot “accept[ ] mere conjecture as adequate to carry a First Amendment burden.” Id. at 1452. Disclosure and organizational requirements may similarly be justified by a governmental interest in combating quid pro quo corruption or its appearance. See Citizens United, 558 U.S. at 369, 130 S.Ct. 876. But, unlike contribution and expenditure limits, the government may further defend disclosure regulations “based on a governmental interest in providing the electorate with information about the sources of election-related spending.” Id. at 367, 130 S.Ct. 876 (internal quotation marks and alteration omitted); see also SpeechNow, 599 F.3d at 696. B. Plaintiffs’ complaint raises both facial and as-applied challenges. Therefore, before evaluating the merits of the Plaintiffs’ challenges, we must be careful to properly define their scope because facial and as-applied challenges have different substantive requirements. See, e.g., Doe v. Reed, 561 U.S. 186, 194, 130 S.Ct. 2811, 177 L.Ed.2d 493 (2010). Though the precise boundaries of facial and as-applied challenges are somewhat elusive — certain challenges can have characteristics of both- — -to categorize a challenge as facial or as-applied we look to see whether the “claim and the relief that would follow ... reach beyond the particular circumstances of the[] plaintiffs.” Id. If so, regardless of how the challenge is labeled by a plaintiff, “[tjhey must therefore satisfy our standards for a facial challenge to the extent of that reach.” Id. We believe that Plaintiffs have properly labeled their challenges. They raise both facial and as-applied challenges to the 60-day, 500-dollar limit, the ten-contributor requirement, and the treasurer-appointment requirement. Plaintiffs raise only an as-applied challenge to the corporate contribution ban because they do not seek relief beyond the proposed in-kind contribution from TLC to TLC-IPA. Plaintiffs have two ways to prevail in their facial challenges to the 60-day, 500-dollar limit, ten-contributor requirement, and treasurer-appointment requirement because this is a First Amendment case. First, Plaintiffs can “establish that no set of circumstances exists under which [the law] would be valid or that the statute lacks any plainly legitimate sweep.” United States v. Stevens, 559 U.S. 460, 472, 130 S.Ct. 1577, 176 L.Ed.2d 435 (2010) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Second, Plaintiffs may also invalidate a statute as overbroad if they demonstrate that “a substantial number of [the law’s] applications are unconstitutional, judged in relation to the statute’s plainly legitimate sweep.” Id. at 473, 130 S.Ct. 1577 (internal citations omitted). With these principles in mind, we turn to the merits. V. Plaintiffs’ raise facial and as-applied challenges that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit violates the First Amendment. We hold that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is facially unconstitutional. A. The district court characterized the 60-day, 500-dollar limit as a disclosure requirement, and accordingly chose to apply “exacting scrutiny.” The court examined whether there was “a substantial relation between the disclosure requirement and a sufficiently important governmental interest.” The parties dispute on appeal whether the district court applied the proper standard of review. Plaintiffs argue that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is a contribution and expenditure limit, and should be analyzed as such. Texas counters that the 60-day, 500-day limit is not an expenditure or contribution limit, but rather a disclosure incentive. Because a specific-purpose committee is not subject to the 60-day, 500-dollar limit, Texas suggests that the purpose of the limit is to either (1) reinforce its disclosure regulations by encouraging parties to comply with the additional disclosures necessary to form a specific-purpose committee, or (2) ensure that the public has sufficient time to learn about the goals of, and contributors to, general-purpose committees given the committees’ potentially opaque nature. To determine whether a rule is a disclosure requirement, or something more, we look to see the effect of the provision. Disclosure and disclaimer rules require the provision of information, and only incidentally prevent speech when the speaker is unwilling to provide the additional required information. See Doe, 561 U.S. at 196, 130 S.Ct. 2811. By contrast, provisions that put a ceiling on speech even if a party is willing to provide all of the information that the government requests constitutes something more than a simple disclosure requirement. The 60-day, 500-dollar limit places a ceiling on speech for sixty days even if a committee is willing to comply with all disclosure/disclaimer requirements applicable to general-purpose committees. As such, the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is an expenditure and contribution limit, and the district court erred by applying only the lower level of scrutiny applicable to disclosure requirements. Cf. Buckley, 424 U.S. at 64, 96 S.Ct. 612 (“Unlike the overall limitations on contributions and expenditures, the disclosure requirements impose no ceiling on campaign-related activities.”). Texas’s counterarguments that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is merely a disclosure incentive do not alter that conclusion. First, a specific-purpose committee formed less than 30 days before a primary or general election “may not knowingly make or authorize a campaign contribution or campaign expenditure supporting or opposing a candidate” for many statewide offices. Tex. Elec.Code § 253.031(c). When specific-purpose committees are also similarly subjected to a waiting period, Texas cannot claim that all a nascent political committee must do to engage in speech is to simply provide information to the government. Second, specific-purpose committees are fundamentally different from general-purpose committees insofar as they require fidelity to candidates rather than principles. And though we recognize that in many circumstances candidates and causes overlap, they do not always, and Texas’s fundamental requirement that committees “change [their] message” and pledge fidelity for or against particular candidates or measures, “or do not speak ... contravenes the fundamental rule of protection under the First Amendment ] that a speaker has the autonomy to choose the content of his own message.” Ariz. Free Enter. Club’s Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett, — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 2806, 2820, 180 L.Ed.2d 664 (2011) (internal quotation marks omitted). Third, that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit may help prevent circumvention of Texas’s disclosure regime does not make the 60-day limit a disclosure requirement. A complete ban on political speech would certainly prevent circumvention of Texas’s disclosure regime, but no one would suggest that it is a disclosure regulation. Similarly here, the 60-day, 500-dollar limit may very well help to improve the transparency of Texas politics, but that does not make it a disclosure regulation for the purpose of determining the proper level of constitutional scrutiny. We will analyze the 60-day, 500-dollar limit as a contribution and expenditure limit. But that determination is only the first step of the analysis because contribution limits and expenditure limits have different standards of review, and the hybrid nature of the 60-day, 500-dollar limit means that the provision acts alternatively as a contribution limit or as an expenditure limit depending on how the general-purpose committee wishes to spend its money. Because Plaintiffs raise a facial challenge and attempt to demonstrate that the provision is unconstitutional both when it operates as an expenditure limit, and when it acts as a contribution limit, we will analyze the provision first as a cap on expenditures, and then as a cap on contributions. B. The 60-day, 500-dollar limit on political expenditures primarily affects two types of expenditures by a general-purpose committee. First, it limits a committee’s ability to engage in independent expenditures. Second, it limits a committee’s ability to engage in coordinated expenditures with a candidate. As coordinated expenditures are constitutionally equivalent to contributions and can be regulated as such, see In re Cao, 619 F.3d at 416-17, we focus here on the 60-day, 500-dollar limit’s effect on independent expenditures. To withstand Plaintiffs’ constitutional challenge, Texas must show that a 60-day, 500-dollar limit on independent expenditures “promotes a compelling interest and is the least restrictive means to further the articulated interest,” McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1444. Limits on independent expenditures “usually flunk” strict scrutiny. Wis. Right to Life State PAC v. Barland, 664 F.3d 139, 153 (7th Cir.2011). The 60-day, 500-dollar limit similarly fails. In the first instance, the six-month waiting period for acquiring federal multicandi-date political committee status does not support Texas’s claim that a 60-day limitation on independent expenditures is constitutional. Unlike Texas’s regulations at issue here, federal law does not contain a similar limit on independent expenditures by a committee waiting to acquire multi-candidate status. See Buckley, 424 U.S. at 51, 96 S.Ct. 612; Cal. Med. Ass’n, 641 F.2d at 624. The Supreme Court’s approval of the federal contribution limits to a multi-candidate committee at issue in California Medical Association v. FEC, 453 U.S. 182, 101 S.Ct. 2712, 69 L.Ed.2d 567 (1981) (“Cal-Med ”), accordingly does not support Texas’s arguments here for limits on independent expenditures. See Texans for Free Enterp., 732 F.3d at 538-39; see also Cal-Med., 453 U.S. at 203, 101 S.Ct. 2712 (Blackmun, J., concurring in part). Further, when we turn to applying constitutional scrutiny, the incompatibility of Texas’s position with Supreme Court precedent is clear. The Supreme Court has been unequivocal that, as a matter of law, independent expenditures do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. Citizens United, 558 U.S. at 357, 130 S.Ct. 876; Texans for Free Enter., 732 F.3d at 537. Texas therefore cannot establish that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit directly combats corruption. And once Texas is shorn of a direct anti-corruption justification for its temporal limitation on independent expenditures, then the state lacks a constitutionally sufficient justification for limiting a general-purpose committee’s independent expenditures. Texas also cannot justify its limit on speech on the basis of its informational interest in its disclosure regime because the State’s “informational interest in identifying the sources of support for” independent expenditures alone “is not enough to justify the First Amendment burden” of a limitation on independent expenditures. SpeechNow, 599 F.3d at 692 (internal quotation marks omitted). And to the extent that Texas tries to link circumvention of its disclosure requirements to its anticorruption interest — if such an argument is permissible at all — Texas does not demonstrate proper tailoring. Though Texas complains that its existing disclosure laws contain loopholes that may be exploited, Texas could address those loopholes by strengthening its disclosure requirements — such as by expanding mandatory electronic or fax filing requirements for disclosures — rather than by instituting waiting periods on speech by newly-formed groups devoted to a particular issue or point of view. Cf. McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1458 (“Importantly, there are multiple alternatives available to Congress that would serve the Government’s anticircum-vention interest, while avoiding unnecessary abridgment of First Amendment rights.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). Moreover, when evaluating whether Texas demonstrates proper tailoring, we must evaluate whether the 60-day delay is necessary based on present circumstances — not the circumstances when the restrictions were originally passed into law. Cf. Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 306, 343, 123 S.Ct. 2325, 156 L.Ed.2d 304 (2003). Recent campaign finance decisions by the Supreme Court have emphasized the role that advancing technology plays in enabling effective and quick disclosure of campaign finance activity. As Citizens United explained, “[w]ith the advent of the Internet, prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions and supporters.” 558 U.S. at 370, 130 S.Ct. 876. Accordingly, “[b]ecause massive quantities of information can be accessed at the click of a mouse, disclosure is effective to a degree not possible at the time” section 253.037(a) was passed. McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1460. Thus even if the 60-day, 500-dollar limit was at some point sufficiently tailored, that is no longer true. Notwithstanding the potential opacity of general-purpose committees, it strains credulity to suggest that it takes 60 days to inform the public as to who is spending money in electoral races. Cf. Family PAC v. McKenna, 685 F.3d 800, 805, 812-14 (9th Cir.2011) (rejecting argument that a 21-day contribution limit was properly tailored in light of modern technology). The lack of a demonstrated need for a 60-day limit is a significant problem for Texas: “[i]n the First Amendment context, fit matters,” McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1456, and Texas’s choice to enact a 60-day speech limit is badly “asymmetrical” to its interest in preventing quid pro quo corruption, Citizens United, 558 U.S. at 361, 130 S.Ct. 876. Texas’s two main counterarguments that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is properly tailored do not alter that conclusion. First, Texas argues that the provision is narrowly tailored because interested speakers have many other opportunities for speaking during the 60-day period, and as such, the 60-day, 500-dollar limit does not prevent any citizen from speaking. But Texas’s argument runs contrary to both Supreme Court and circuit precedent. See, e.g., Citizens United, 558 U.S. at 337-38, 130 S.Ct. 876 (noting that federal law enacted “a ban on corporate speech notwithstanding the fact that a PAC created by a corporation can still speak”); Texans for Free Enter., 732 F.3d at 539. Just as we do not permit the government to silence the New York Times because the reporters could shout-out their stories in Central Park or publish them on the internet, we do not permit the government to silence various political organizations simply because their component parts have other opportunities for speech. Texas’s limitations on general-purpose committees must rise and fall on their own merits. Second, Texas suggests that the provision is narrowly tailored because general-purpose committees can pick when the 60-day period runs. But we think Texas’s suggestion overlooks the practical reality that oftentimes few observers know the critical issues in an election (and the candidates’ position on those issues) until just days before. See, e.g., WRTL II, 551 U.S. at 462, 127 S.Ct. 2652 (plurality) (“But groups ... cannot predict what issues will be matters of public concern.... In these cases, WRTL had no way of knowing well in advance that it would want to run ads on judicial filibusters_”). After all, October Surprises are not called October Surprises because they happen in June. In such situations, “timing is of the essence ... when an event occurs, it is often necessary to have one’s voice heard promptly, if it is to be considered at all.” Shuttles-worth v. City of Birmingham, 394 U.S. 147, 163, 89 S.Ct. 935, 22 L.Ed.2d 162 (1969) (Harlan, J., concurring). Accordingly, the 60-day limit “places a severe burden on speech because it may even preclude expression necessary to provide an immediate response to late-breaking events.” Am. Right to Life PAC v. Bay-less, 320 F.3d 1002, 1009 (9th Cir.2003) (internal quotation marks omitted). We reject Texas’s suggestion that the 60-day burden does not constitute a significant restriction on speech because a general-purpose committee will know when it will be severely limited in its speech. We therefore conclude that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is unconstitutional insofar as it limits a general-purpose committee, such as TLC-IPA, to funding only $500 in independent expenditures. C. Next we address the 60-day, 500-dollar limit as it affects a general-purpose committee’s ability to fund contributions. Texas must show that the contribution limitations serve “a sufficiently important interest and employ[ ] means closely drawn.” Buckley, 424 U.S. at 25, 96 S.Ct. 612. And, just as with expenditure limitations, “the sole governmental interest ... recognized as a justification for restricting contributions [is] the prevention of quid pro quo corruption.” Let’s Help Fla. v. McCrary, 621 F.2d 195, 199 (5th Cir.1980). The Supreme Court’s recent decision in McCutcheon dictates the result here. In McCutcheon, the Supreme Court dealt with the constitutionality of an aggregate contribution cap that limited the total amount that an individual could donate to all candidates, parties, and committees (and not the base contribution limit that could be donated to any one particular candidate, committee, or party). The Supreme Court found the aggregate limits unconstitutional because they did “little, if anything” to combat corruption, “while seriously restricting participation in the democratic process.” McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1442. As the Court noted, The difficulty is that once the aggregate limits kick in, they ban all contributions of any amount. But Congress’s selection of a $5,200 base limit indicates its belief that contributions of that amount or less do not create a cognizable risk of corruption. If there is no corruption concern in giving nine candidates up to $5,200 each, it is difficult to understand how a tenth candidate can be regarded as corruptible if given $1,801, and all others corruptible if given a dime. And if there is no risk that additional candidates will be corrupted by donations of up to $5,200, then the Government must defend the aggregate limits by demonstrating that they prevent circumvention of the base limits. The problem is that they do not serve that function in any meaningful way. Id. at 1452. Similarly here, Texas’s enshrinement of the 60-day, 500-dollar limit demonstrates the Texas Legislature’s belief that a $500 donation to any particular candidate does not pose a risk of corruption even if public knowledge of the source of the contribution is complicated by the proximity of the contribution to the committee’s formation. But if a single $500 contribution does not risk corruption, it is hard to see how three $167 contributions hold out such a significant risk of corruption that the former is permitted and the latter is not. And even more to the point, as the aggregate contributions limit is also reduced by independent expenditures, it is particularly hard to see how a $500 contribution to a candidate by a newly-formed general-purpose committee does not create a cognizable risk of corruption, but a $15 contribution by a newly-formed committee that had engaged in $490 of independent expenditures does. The logic undergird-ing McCutcheon stands out as deeply problematic for Texas’s attempts to justify its aggregate contributions cap — particularly as Cal-Med, Texas’s best authority in favor of a 60-day cap, deals primarily with base limits and not an aggregate contributions cap. See 2 U.S.C. § 441a(l)-(2); see also McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1442 n. 3. Texas must therefore try to justify the provision as an anticircumvention measure. But we do not believe Texas can justify the 60-day, 500-dollar limit on contributions as a measure to prevent circumvention of the contribution limits on specific-performance committees during legislative sessions and judicial elections. Tex. Elec.Code §§ 253.034(a), .153(a). In the first instance, an ever-present 60-day, 500-dollar limitation that kicks in regardless of the proximity of the committee’s formation to a legislative session or a judicial election is vastly overbroad to the circumvention threat it is trying to combat. Cf. McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1458 (“[T]he indiscriminate ban on all contributions above the aggregate limits is disproportionate to the Government’s interest in preventing circumvention.”); First Nat’l Bank of Bos. v. Bellotti 435 U.S. 765, 793, 98 S.Ct. 1407, 55 L.Ed.2d 707 (1978) (noting that the government’s interest “is belied ... by the provisions of the statute, which are both underinclusive and overinclusive”). But more importantly, Texas would still be unable to justify an aggregate limit — as opposed to per-candidate, per-committee, and per-party base limits — under the logic of McCutcheon. Texas’s further attempts to distinguish McCutcheon based on Texas’s interest in preventing circumvention of its disclosure requirements do not establish that Texas’s efforts are properly tailored. Even though the aggregate limit at issue here is only temporary, and, after the 60-day window passes, the general-purpose committee is largely free to spend as it pleases, Texas must still show that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit “employs means closely drawn.” But Texas does not provide any evidence supporting a 60-day aggregate contribution cap as necessary. See, e.g., Family PAC, 685 F.3d at 812-14 (rejecting argument that a 21-day contribution limit was closely tailored in light of modern technology); see also McCutcheon, 134 S.Ct. at 1460 (noting role that advancing technology plays in enabling prompt disclosure); Citizens United, 558 U.S. at 369-70, 130 S.Ct. 876 (same). Texas also raises the argument that because a general-purpose committee could reform as a specific-purpose committee, and engage in speech, the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is supposedly no limit at all. But this argument does no better in the context of distinguishing McCutcheon than it does in supporting a 60-day, 500-dollar limit on independent expenditures. First, under binding precedent, the availability of other avenues of speech does not excuse the imposition of an unconstitutional burden on organizations wanting to engage in speech. See, e.g., Citizens United, 558 U.S. at 337-38, 130 S.Ct. 876; Texans for Free Enter., 732 F.3d at 539. Second, even if we could consider such alternatives, Texas’s choice to force general-purpose committees to pledge fidelity to candidates rather than principles, as well as Texas Election Code § 253.031(c)’s prohibition on expenditures or contributions by a specific-performance committee formed less than 30 days before an election, mean that a specific-performance committee is not a true constitutional substitute for speech by general-purpose committees. See Ariz. Free Enter., 131 S.Ct. at 2820. We conclude that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is unconstitutional insofar as it acts as an aggregate $500 contribution limit on newly-formed general-purpose committees wishing to engage in political contributions such as it did on Plaintiffs FOFSA and Texas Freedom. D. To show that the 60-day, 500-dollar limit is facially unconstitutional, Plaintiffs need to demonstrate either that (1) no set of circumstances exist under which 60-day, 500-dollar limit is valid, or (2) a substantial number of the 60-day, 500-dollar limit’s applications are unconstitutional, when judged in relation to the limit’s plainly legitimate sweep. Plaintiffs make that showing. Plaintiffs have demonstrated that the 60-day, 500-dol
