"Campaign finance reform has always been motivated by a definition of democracy that does not count corporations as citizens and holds that self-government works best by reducing political inequality. In the early years of the twentieth century, Congress recognized the strength of these principles by prohibiting corporations from making campaign contributions, passing a disclosure law, and setting limits on campaign expenditures. These reforms were not controversial at the time, but conservative opposition to them appeared in the 1970s. That opposition was well represented in the Supreme Court, which has rolled back reform by granting First Amendment rights to corporations and declaring the goal of reducing political inequality to be unconstitutional. Buying the Vote analyzes the rise and decline of campaign finance reform by tracking changes in the way presidential campaigns have been funded since the late nineteenth century, and changes in the debate over how to reform fundraising practices. A close examination of major Supreme Court decisions shows how the Court has fashioned a new and profoundly inegalitarian redefinition of American democracy"-- Provided by publisher."

"Thanks to a series of recent US Supreme Court decisions, corporations can now spend unlimited sums to influence elections, Super PACs and dark money groups are flourishing, and wealthy individuals and special interests increasingly dominate American politics. Despite the overwhelming support of Americans to fix this broken system, serious efforts at reform have languished. Campaign finance is a highly intricate and complex area of the law, and the current system favors the incumbent politicians who oversee it. This illuminating book takes these hard realities as a starting point and offers realistic solutions to reform campaign finance. With contributions from more than a dozen leading scholars of election law, it should be read by anyone interested in reclaiming the promise of American democracy."

"Dalam persaingan untuk memperebutkan kursi di Kongres, para kandidat berlomba-lomba menggunakan strategi kampanye untuk memenangkan dukungan dan suara dari pemilih. Upaya kampanye ini memerlukan penerimaan dan pengeluaran dana kampanye yang signifikan untuk menjalankan program kampanye mereka. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh dana kampanye terhadap perolehan suara kandidat Kongres dalam Pemilihan Kongres Amerika Serikat 2020. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder yang diperoleh dari Federal Election Commission (FEC). Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel sebanyak 125 kandidat Pemilihan Kongres 2020 dengan confidence level 95% dan margin of error 5%. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis regresi linier ordinal (OLS), penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh variabel penerimaan dan pengeluaran kampanye terhadap perolehan suara kandidat dengan mempertimbangkan kategori-kategori yang relevan. Variabel penerimaan dana kampanye akan dianalisis secara terpisah, meliputi penerimaan individu, penerimaan partai politik, penerimaan komite aksi politik, dan penerimaan dana pribadi kandidat. Demikian pula, variabel pengeluaran kampanye akan dianalisis secara terpisah, mencakup biaya pemasangan iklan kampanye, biaya acara kampanye, biaya peraga alat kampanye, dan biaya administratif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa dalam pemilihan Kongres Amerika Serikat tahun 2020, penggunaan dana kampanye untuk biaya pemasangan iklan kampanye memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap perolehan suara anggota U.S. House of Representatives, sementara variabel lain seperti penerimaan dana kampanye individu, jumlah total penerimaan dana kampanye, dan total pengeluaran kampanye tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan secara statistik

In the race for congressional seats, candidates are vying for support and votes from the electorate using campaign strategies. These campaign efforts require significant campaign fundraising and expenditures to run their programs. The research aims to analyze the influence of campaign funding on the vote acquisition of congressional candidates in the 2020 United States Congressional Election. The data used for this study is secondary data obtained from the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The research includes a sample of 125 candidates from the 2020 Congressional Election with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5%. Using the ordinal linear regression (OLS) analysis method, the research analyzes the impact of campaign funding and expenditure variables on candidate vote acquisition, considering relevant categories. Campaign funding variables, such as individual contributions, party contributions, political action committee contributions, and candidate personal contributions, will be analyzed separately. Similarly, campaign expenditure variables, including advertising expenses, campaign event costs, campaign material expenses, and administrative expenses, will be analyzed separately. The research findings indicate that in the 2020 United States Congressional Election, the use of campaign funds for advertising expenses significantly influenced the vote acquisition of U.S. House of Representatives members, while other variables such as individual campaign contributions, total campaign contributions, and total campaign expenditures did not show significant statistical significance."
