Explanation:

Analyze Super PAC regulations and coordination rules

Super PACs (independent expenditure-only political committees) are legally prohibited from coordinating directly with candidates, their campaigns, or formal party organizations. Therefore, their activities cannot be designed in tandem with a candidate's strategy, nor are they coordinated with formal party organizations.

Evaluate the options based on legal definitions

• "People who donate to the Super PACs are elected party leaders": Incorrect (donors are typically wealthy individuals, corporations, unions, or interest groups, not restricted to or primarily elected party leaders).
• "The goal of the spending is to increase voter turnout": Correct (Super PACs spend heavily on advertisements, mobilization, and campaigns aimed at influencing voter turnout and choices).
