WASHINGTON, November 4 (RIA Novosti) – The most expensive midterm election in US history is also marked by less transparency in campaign finance and portends a possible rise in special interest spending in the 2016 elections, experts told RIA Novosti.
“It’s a bedrock principle of our campaign finance system that voters should know who is financing their candidates, and the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent by groups that don’t disclose their donors cuts against that,” Vivera Novak, the editorial and communications director of the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), a Washington-based watchdog, told RIA Novosti.
