I personally would love to see legislation preventing all out of state money in all elections within the state. Too much emphasis on money and often persons win who were outrageously outspent. The internet has greatly changed the political environment hopefully lessening the amount needed in an intelligently run campaign.

Yes! And I would go further and extend the legislation to local elections. No one not eligible to vote in an election should be able to tip the scales with money.

Totally agree. Additionally, while there are limits from individual donations, it was astonishing to

Realize Zuckbucks broke all the rules by funneling through different pacs and entities that totaled into the million. Therefore, IтАЩm guessing itтАЩs not hard to cheat the donation game.
