The leader of the US Federal Election Commission, the agency charged with regulating the way political money is raised and spent, says she has largely given up hope of reining in abuses in the 2016 US presidential campaign, which could generate a record $10 billion in spending.
“The likelihood of the laws being enforced is slim,” Ann M. Ravel, the chairwoman, said in an interview. “I never want to give up, but I’m not under any illusions. People think the F.E.C. is dysfunctional. It’s worse than dysfunctional.”
Her unusually frank assessment reflects a worsening stalemate among the agency’s six commissioners. They are perpetually locked in 3-to-3 ties along party lines on key votes because of a fundamental disagreement over the mandate of the commission, which was created 40 years ago in response to the political corruption of Watergate.

Blacks have been outvoting whites since 2012 [cnn.com], and 96% of black voters voted Obama [politico.com], and again I get to actually talk to these people working retail....have YOU done any kind of "man on the street" style polling? I did with black folks in 08 and 12, and I've been doing the same for women and Hillary since she announced and in both its the same story, you ask "What are the policies of this person you like? What is it about them you support?"...crickets. HAND.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.
