Summary note

"As campaign finance laws have weakened in the US, so has the Federal Election Commission's ability to enforce them. The agency is underfunded and often has too few commissioners present, and this has led to a partisan imbalance that has favored the Republicans and allowed them to dominate decision-making"-- Provided by publisher.
