    We love it. I know many people that would never donate to a politician that donate because they have vouchers. It causes them to be more engaged and mindful about who they’re giving to.

    100% win-win

    That’s not a bad idea honestly. Allowing people to fund their candidates to counter corporate funding is a good thing, and should be embraced more.
