Resumo de Recurso
The impact of money on US elections and political process
Attempts at campaign finance reform show that this is a key issue
1974 Federal Election Campaign Act
Established the FEC and limited the level of donations
But undermined by Supreme Court - hard and soft money
2002 McCain-Feingold Act
Tried to restrict the use of soft money but had a limited impact
Banned foreign donations and made a stand by your ad provision
2010 FEC v Citizens United
Limits on what corporations could spend unconstitutional
Could allow big business and unions an important voice in the future
Obama
Harnessed the power of the internet to design the first 21st century fund raising machine
By the end of the election, 3 million people had donated over $760 million
This meant he became the first candidate that could forgo federal funds
This meant that campaign spending limits did not apply
During the campaign he could pour resources into crucial swing states
In North Carolina, Obama spent over 5 times the amount McCain did on TV ads
This was more than the combined amount from Bush-Kerry in 2004
Obama raised over $700m in 2012 - Romney trailed behind with $474m
Both candidates could decline federal funds showing the limitations of legislation
Finance in 2016
Clinton raised $620 million - Trump just over $330 million
The ability of Clinton to raise money before the election scared off many challengers
All figures show that Clinton outspent Trump in 2016 but lost
Does this show that money was not important?
Or was it because of the unique nature of Trump?
His campaign got a great deal of free publicity due his actions
He also had the support of websites such as Breitbart and the Fox news channel
Does it also show the growing power of social media and the tendency of voters to focus on what they want to hear?
The length of campaigns
Most candidates announce their campaign over a year before the election
The invisible primary - all about name recognition and media profile
Primary elections take place January-June of election year
Candidates have to spend hundreds of millions to succeed in these
Sanders spent $234m in his attempt to defeat Clinton
Synoptic Links
The role of the media in US elections
The importance of attack ads and negative campaigning
This turns many away from the political process
Low turnout figures
The rise of the Super PACs
Soft money - over $1 billion was spent in 2016
Priorities USA Action spent $133m - they support Clinton
Get our jobs back spent $50m supporting Trump
The influence of Pressure Groups on the political process
The influence of the NRA on Congress
Since the 2012 election, the NRA has spent $3m a year lobbying Congress
