A list of the reforms needed by the U.S. election system could fill, and has filled, many a book. But the fundamental reforms without which no others will have the needed impact are:

• Eliminating bribery,
• Providing fair media coverage -- not incessant, costly campaign ads.

The people of the state of Maine just voted overwhelmingly to limit the amount of money an individual can give to a Super PAC. While there are serious limits on what an individual can pay to an electoral candidate's campaign, a political action committee called a Super PAC can spend unlimited money promoting a candidate and can take unlimited money from individuals -- or can in the state of this state but not any longer in Maine.

A circuit court in Washington D.C. ruled in 2010 that corruption could not possibly exist in giving money to a Super PAC. There are two major problems with that ruling:

• Everyone lacking a law degree knows it's nonsense.
• The U.S. Justice Department in 2023 prosecuted Senator Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) for making a deal with a man in exchange for his "contribution" to a Super PAC, which proves that Super PACs can, indeed, breed corruption. 

Let's build the momentum to fix this nationally by fixing it in more states.
