The public financing provision would give candidates up to $6 for every dollar raised from small donors and also establish a pilot program to give voters $25 campaign vouchers to be donated to any candidate. It has attracted outsize scrutiny from Republicans, who are attacking it as “taxpayer funding” for campaigns — more specifically, Democratic campaigns. And some experts question whether public financing is necessary after an election cycle that saw small, grass-roots donors power numerous successful congressional campaigns.

So the rationale is to counter the influence of PAC money with taxpayer money, get at Trump's tax returns and weaken the photo i.d. requirement for voting (translation: lay the groundwork for illegals voting).

Good luck to all of you with these lunatics in charge.
