Voters in Montana on Tuesday delivered a major blow to big moneyed interests by overwhelmingly passing a ballot initiative barring corporate cash from political campaigns in the state.
With 87% of votes counted as of Wednesday morning, Montana Constitutional Initiative 194 has ++received++ support from more than 65% of voters, with just 35% registering opposition.
I’m ok with limiting union and nonprofit contributions too. Those are just more workaround avenues for billionaire money at the end of the day.
This amplifies the effect of every individual voter’s dollar in the race tenfold. And THAT matters way more.
Exactly. But it also doesn’t apply to “editorial” content… so that’s something we’ll have to watch out for.
