Why would any voter oppose this?
This bill requires politicians to file/disclose their campaign funding sources DIGITALLY, rather than through paperwork, which slows down the disclosure time.
In the final two weeks of an election, politicians are desperate for funds, and they can solicit money from the sleaziest of characters w/o voters knowing, because the election is over before the paperwork goes through. You can bet those last minute campaign-saving contributions buy MASSIVE favors from your Congressperson.
This bill means more transparency. Not only that its saves a lot of trees and tax dollars (manual data entry, filing, etc & paper costs)
