*an election is a ‘formal decision-making process’ by which a population chooses an individual to hold ‘public office’*
.
(‘elections’ have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century)
(‘elections’ may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government)
(this process is also used in many other private and business organizations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations)
(the universal use of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern representative democracies is in contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens, where the ‘Elections’ were considered an oligarchic institution and most political offices were filled using ‘sortition’, also known as ‘allotment’, by which officeholders were chosen by lot)
(‘electoral reform’ describes the process of introducing fair electoral systems where they are not in place, or improving the fairness or effectiveness of existing systems)
(‘psephology’ is the study of results and other statistics relating to elections (especially with a view to predicting future results))
(to elect means “to choose or make a decision”, and so sometimes other forms of ballot such as ‘referendums’ are referred to as ‘elections’, especially in the ‘united states’)
.
*eliminate ‘campaign finance regulation’*
(to prevent ‘violations of ‘free speech’)
(giving money to a candidate who will support your own self-interest goes hand-in-hand with efficient capitalism)
(especially when you consider that rich people as a whole are smarter than poor people in a darwinian sense at least)
(or at least more valued by the rest of the populace)
(because most poor people would be rich if only they could)
(and they aren’t all ‘evil’ by default)
