Senate Republicans may balk at the bill, set to be the first filed in the House next year. The origins of the dark money sloshing around the political system would have to be disclosed. If the early indications hold, there would also be a new public financing system for candidates that would amplify the power of small-value donations. If Democrats are to make a statement on how the political system should be working, this is a crucial element of the bill that must remain in the package. Early voting should be readily available.
