In public funded elections, who gets funded? The whole process of deciding who gets funded and why seems to be very open for manipulation and the ability to limit fringe candidates. I personally like the idea that a candidate could step up with his own ideas and support them without having to cower to anyone or any party. So lets say that they only fund the top two or three candidates from a primary. What happens then if one or both the candidates have some type of scandal revealed? I would like to see a limit on what can be spent with 100% accounting. For every dollar a candidate wants to spend above that amount he or she must donate an equal amount into a fund that is split among the other registered candidates. Doesnt restrict his free speech, only assures that other voices have a means of being heard.
