I can answer all of these and will, but I am short of time right now.

Relative to one man, many votes, if I as a corporate contributor give a politician $500,000 (in whatever ways I legally or illegally can), I would suggest to you that if the average VOTER contribution is (shall we say) $50, that in terms of INFLUENCE I am able to wield influence to the extent of about 10,000 voters.

Then, if I find that guys in prison are hostile to my party I can deny them the vote (in many states) while they are in prison, and also after they are out of prison also (in some states)

There are many other ways that people are DENIED votes.

And so on. Blacks in some parts of the country, Hispanics in others.

I will get back to you on the other items.

Namaste!

Jim
