Abstract

Abstract Russian interference in U.S. elections has shined a light on gaping holes in the longstanding rules designed to protect against foreign political influence through spending from abroad on American elections. There are three key areas where U.S. elections are most vulnerable to political spending directed by foreign powers: the internet, “dark money” groups that do not disclose their donors, and corporations and other business entities with substantial foreign ownership. A comprehensive set of campaign finance reforms is needed to shore up the United States’ defenses against foreign election spending; the chapter describes those necessary reforms.
