Campaign finance reforms

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed are correct ways in which campaign finance reforms have impacted elections. Requiring candidates to raise money from many small donors helps to reduce the influence of wealthy donors and special interest groups, while requiring donations to be reported to the FEC increases transparency in the electoral process. However, these reforms have also made the media more powerful in elections, as candidates must rely on media coverage to reach voters, and have benefited incumbent politicians who have an easier time raising funds thanks to their existing position and name recognition.
