As the Nov. 8 midterm election draws near, a campaign finance expert warns that “dark money is a growing issue” in America’s elections.
According to former prosecutor, campaign finance expert and Save Democracy in America founder Dan McMillan J.D., Ph.D., “dark money is a growing issue” in America’s elections. Dark money refers to campaign contributions whose sources are not disclosed. While expenditures such as pricey campaign ads attacking an opponent may be reported to the FEC, the identities of the people, firms, and activist organizations that pay for those ads are often hidden.
