[EL] Technology to facilitate compliance

[sparnell at campaignfreedom.org]

That would be a welcome development. I recall on several occasions suggesting to 'reformers' that if there are problems with "big money" in politics, then at the very least perhaps the campaign finance regime should focus on, well, "big money." Instead it seems that we get lots of rhetoric about 'billionaires' and 'plutocrats' and ExxonMobil paired with laws that limit or bar or regulate miniscule amounts of money, starting at the first dollar in some cases (corporate/union contributions and expenditures) or beginning at very low thresholds in many other instances (Wisconsin's registration/reporting requirement for spending as little as $25 on a ballot issue).
