""...To advance democratic self-government and political equality, and to protect the integrity of government and the electoral process," Section 1 says, "Congress and the States may regulate and set reasonable limits on the raising and spending of money by candidates and others to influence elections." By allowing restrictions on money spent by anyone to influence elections, that provision would nullify a principle set forth in the landmark 1976 case Buckley v. Valeo...."
So a couple of questions...
1. Is this because they can't keep up with the GOP fundraising?
2. They cheat at everything they do and still can't win.
Its odd to me because in 2016 the Hillary forces actually outspent Trump by a fairly large margin in the last election (I believe it was something along the lines of 2 to 3 times what Trump spent).
