| | USIS -- Issues of Democracy, September 1996 --Financing Presidential Election Campaigns |
| | At the federal level, the results of those reform efforts -- and of subsequent attempts to ease the burdens of laws imposed on candidates and committees -- are embodied in the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA), the Revenue Act of 1971, and the FECA Amendments of 1974, 1976 and 1979. | | | The 1970s reform laws also imposed contribution and expenditure limits on all federal election campaigns, but the U.S. Supreme Court subsequently ruled that spending limits are permissible only in publicly financed campaigns, currently only presidential campaigns. | | | The fundamental problem facing those who would design a system of campaign-finance regulation for American election campaigns is how to protect the integrity of the election process and yet respect the rights of free speech and free association guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. |

| | Elections supervisor Lester Sola said in a memo on Friday that the county should switch to optical scanners that use paper ballots, based on declining voter confidence in the paperless touch-screen machines and quadrupled labor costs on the day of an election. | | | The elections chief of Miami-Dade County has recommended ditching the county's ATM-style voting machines, three years after buying them for $24.5 million to avoid a repeat of the hanging and dimpled chads from the 2000 election. | | | Up until this point, I was willing to give state and county election officials the benefit of a doubt as to being earnest, but misinformed. |
