I don't see how you can do that without violating the First Amendment. I don't agree with your conclusion. All he did was expedite the process. He didn't drive more voters to the polls, or anything like that. He gave money to local governments to ensure that ballots were counted within a reasonable amount of time, so the process wouldn't take many weeks, and lead to even more questions about accuracy and fairness. Secondly, I have heard this "take big money out of elections" idea for many years, and I have always opposed it. Restrictions of that sort are a violation of the First Amendment. For example, I am restricted as the the amount of money I can give personally to a Presidential candidate. But am I restricted from renting a billboard and expressing my political views? Can I buy a newspaper and express myself that way? What's the difference in all these things? Nothing. There's no difference. You cannot tell a newspaper what they can or cannot say. That's an obvious violation of the First Amendment. So any rich person can buy a newspaper and say what they want to say. They can buy a newpaper for $100 million and print as many pro-candidate editorials as they want. There's no restriction on that and there never can be. So why am I personally restricted from giving a personal contribution over a certain amount to a candidate? It doesn't make sense. I don't think it's constitutional to tell me, or a corporation, or any other entity, that they cannot give as much money directly to a political campaign as they want. |
