We know Mitch McConnell voted today in favor of billionaires continuing to buy elections. He said no one in Kentucky (his state) cares about it.
Really, Mitch? In May, a poll by CBS News showed something quite different. Here's what the poll found:
- 75 percent of respondents, including 63 percent of Republicans, said that the wealthy have more of a chance of influencing the electoral process.
- 71 percent of respondents, including 65 percent of Republicans, said that campaign contributions by individuals should be limited.
- 76 percent of respondents, including 65 percent of Republicans, said that spending on ads by unaffiliated groups should be limited.
