Count My Vote / Buy My Vote vs Fair Elections
From the Salt Lake Tribune, in today's paper:
Both the Republican Party and Democratic Party have voiced their support for the current system, and both have task forces working on proposals to expand voter participation within that framework.
Fred Cox, a former state representative and member of a Republican task force, said he believes money won’t matter once voters recognize that either proposal from Count My Vote will work against the average, grassroots candidate.
"I’m not sure if they have half-a-million or a million-and-a-half it will matter, people are still going to want fair elections," Cox said. "They’re still going to want the ability to have incumbents replaced. They’re still going to want people to not have to be rich and famous to get elected."
