![Page 11: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

cont.
cash gifts no higher than 100$ and no worries
Need to closely account for each donation...those over 200$ need to be identified by the source and date
any contribution greater than $5,000 must be reported in 48 hours
![Page 17: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Place limits on campaign expenditures
most limits apply to presidential elections only
Buckley v Valeo - Supreme Court struck down several spending limits set by the FECA Amendments because they were contrary to freedom of expression
![Page 20: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

FEC can limit money it has given to candidates (federal subsidies). If you do not take the money you are not bound by the limits
![Page 22: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Provide public funding (subsidies) for several parts of the presidential election process
pre-convention campaigns - supported by private contributions and public money from the FEC but you need to meet eligibility requirements
![Page 23: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
National Conventions
if a major party applies for the money it received a grant to pay for it. In 2000 they each received 13.5 million from the FEC
![Page 24: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Presidential Election Campaigns
Each major party nominee automatically is qualified for a public subsidy to cover the costs of general election campaigns. The candidate can refuse if they want to raise money somehow else.
![Page 25: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Soft money
funds given to party organizations for such “party building activities” as candidate recruitment, voter registration get out the vote drives
![Page 26: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BiPartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 - McCain Feingold Bill -
aimed at the soft money problem. Bans soft money contributions to political parties, in particular, to their national and congressional campaign committees
![Page 27: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Political Action Committees
There are 4,000 PACs registered
Distribute money to those candidates who
are sympathetic to its goals
have a reasonable chance of winning
No PAC can give more than $5,000 to any one federal candidate in an election, or $10,000 per election cycle
![Page 28: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Can contribute up to $15,000 a year to a political party
PACs put an estimated $400 million into the presidential and congressional campaigns in 2000
![Page 29: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Running for PresStrategy and Themes
Incumbents Record - defend or attack?
Tone - positive or negative?
Develop a theme - trust? confidence? change? country first?
![Page 31: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Judge Timing - early momentum? Save resources for later?
Target voter - who is the audience? What are the constituents?
![Page 32: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Getting Elected to Congress
What impacts this?
![Page 33: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
District Boundaries
Malapportionment: districts have different populations, so the votes in the less-populated district “weigh more” than those in the more-populated district (twice as many voters are needed in a larger district to elect)
Gerrymandering: Boundaries are drawn to favor one party rather than another, resulting in odd-shaped districts
![Page 34: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Getting Elected to Congress
Problems associated with the House
Size - Congress decides the House size at 435
Allocation of seats - After each 10 year census the states decide the districts
![Page 35: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Determining size of congressional districts - states decide
Determining shape of congressional districts - states decide
![Page 36: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Winning Congressional
PrimaryVoter signatures - need enough to appear on ballot in the primary
Win party nomination
Run in general election
![Page 37: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Staying in Office
Delegates vs. Trustees
![Page 38: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Primary vs. General
CampaignsWhat works in one, might not work in the other
different voters, media, etc
$$ - need those who will give money and attend the primary
Activists vs voters at large - primary voters are more “radical” than voters at large
![Page 39: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Iowa Caucuses (or recent trend of front-loading) and New Hampshire Primary
Media Attention on their results
Winner leanings? Usually most liberal and most conservative
![Page 40: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Balancing Act
Primary voters are more ideological
Conservative enough/Liberal Enough
Center Move after primary
Translates to a balancing act
![Page 41: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Two Kinds of Campaign Issues1) Position Issues
rival candidates with opposing views, usually voters are divided on partisan lines
2008?
Realignments
![Page 42: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
2) Valance Issues: does the candidate support the public’s view on an issue where most people agree
ex. strong economy, low unemployment rates, things people are not going to oppose
![Page 43: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

What Decides Elections?
Party (Democrats less wedded to their party as Republicans, GOP does better with Independents, GOP has a higher turnout)
Issues, Especially Economy
![Page 47: Chapter 10](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c33a704a7959a5738b45d7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
