Money in elections has created several issues. First, voters feel like their voice is not being heard with how money is transferred throughout politics. People do not know where money for ads is coming from and ads are being made by tax exempt nonprofits (5O1C4s) that are not required to disclose their donors. Also, it is difficult to find who exactly these nonprofits are. With the current laws and restrictions in place, voters are unable to differentiate political ads from ads proposed by 5O1C4s (issue ads). With information with an unclear source and questionable motive being added, false ideas are created that may look real but really serve the purpose of baiting the populace into believing misinformation.
