    “New Report Identifies Gaps in the American Electorate”

Release 
<http://projectvote.org/newsreleases/1115-new-report-identifies-gaps-in-the-american-electorate.html>:

    As the 2015-2016 election cycle gets underway, nonprofit voting
    rights group Project Vote has released a major new report that
    presents a comprehensive picture of disparities in the changing
    American electorate.

    In/Representational Bias in the 2012 Electorate/
    <http://projectvote.org/images/publications/Representational-Bias-2012/Representational-Bias-in-the-2012-Electorate.pdf>,
    Project Vote’s Senior Policy Analyst, Dr. Vanessa Perez, analyses
    registration and voting rates for every presidential election in the
    21st century. The report examines participation for different
    demographic groups—according to race and ethnicity, age, gender,
    income, education, and other factors—to determine the ways in which
    the American electorate is becoming more or less representative of
    the citizen population.

Amitai Etzioni 
<https://icps.gwu.edu/sites/icps.gwu.edu/files/downloads/How%20To%20Fix%20Campaign%20Finance_0.pdf>in 
the Daily Journal: “So what if, instead of focusing on contributions, we 
penalize those who gain substantive, material favors for their 
contributions and those who grant such favors for receiving 
contributions? Limitations would not be imposed on what one can/give/, 
but rather on what one can/get/.”

    “Money Trail Revealed: Did Eric O’Keefe Pay James O’Keefe for

PR Watch 
<http://www.prwatch.org/news/2015/01/12714/eric-okeefe-james-okeefe-mike-ellis>:

    Now CMD has discovered that O’Keefe indeed received a five-figure
    check from a “far-right buddy” and another “Scotty boy,” Wisconsin
    Club for Growth’s Eric O’Keefe. This O’Keefe is an old friend of the
    Brothers Koch, a founder of a plethora of far-right
    organizations (including the Center for Competitive Politics, which
    fights clean elections laws), and a national leader in the effort to
    advance undisclosed dark money in elections. O’Keefe has steadfastly
    stood behind the extreme Walker agenda.
