| State Supreme Court races, again. Of the $15 million or so spent for TV ads in Michigan, 75 percent cannot be attributed to identifiable donors, notes Rich Robinson, executive director of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, which advocates changing Michigan law to bar undisclosed independent spending. That exceeds even the 2010 record, when half the total spending on Michigan Supreme Court races came from secret sources.
No transparency in the election, and candidates picked based on how they perform in generic name polls (the Irish woman effect). I'm sorry, and it pains me to say this, but at what point does the entire thing lose its legitimacy |
