West Virginia Supreme Court Squashes Publicly Funded Campaigns

"Rather than applauding the effort of one man to tap into public funding of elections, the WV Supreme Court instead reinforced that the game to play in the current political landscape is a race to the top of the fundraising charts. It’s yet another example of the precedent set by the US Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. FEC decision."

What good are publicly funded campaign funds if the candidates are allowed to be silenced by the private presidential debate commission.
