[EL] "How to waste 10 million dollars"

[Tyler Creighton]

How do you explain away all of the voters that expressly voted for campaign
finance reform? To name a few, Arkansas voters
<http://www.governing.com/topics/elections/gov-arkansas-voters-term-limits-ballot.html>
pass ban on lobbyists gifts and direct corporate & union contributions to
candidates. Voters in Tallahassee
<http://daily.represent.us/anti-corruption-movement-scores-major-victory-polls>
passed an anti-corruption measure limiting campaign contributions and
establishing public financing. Voters in Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Florida
<https://movetoamend.org/press-release/election-shows-americans-ready-amend-constitution>
overwhelmingly
pass ballot questions calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn
Citizens United. More on Massachusetts

and Wisconsin <http://scwmta.org/?p=2139> ballot questions.
