“You know how much I raised to run against Gerald Ford?” asked Carter in his latest Conversation at the Carter Center. “Zero. You know how much I raised to run against Ronald Reagan? Zero. You know how much will be raised this year by all presidential, Senate and House campaigns? Six billion dollars. That’s 6,000 million.”

That's my one term president

it's true that there's way too much money involved now. I don't know how that wouldn't lead to corruption

 

[zerozero]

Yep

I just realized something after writing that though is your vote recorded on paper? does that threaten the secretiveness of the process? i'm gonna have to see how that receipt system works

it would only threaten the secretiveness (I didn't know that was a word) if your name, or something that specifically connected it to you, was on it as well

You would think getting every voter a reciept would be astrophysics for election boards.....somehow its impossible ......... .... some of the same companies that make voting machines are also involved in making/designing ATMs................its hilarious this twilight zone we living in.....

of course he right. Its shocking how much money has influence in all of our elections.



I got into a debate with some people about Venezuela's elections, and how Chavez doesnt allow for even TV time. I said thats cool, and its wrong, but the money raised in our election means only the wealthy few gets heard. We cant really tlk much.

Those people were heated that I would dare compare our electoral process with Venezuela's, lol.

Its funny though, because as bad as that is, its the only 6 billion dollars we know goes 100% into American businesses lol
