>> Doesn't the secrecy clause in that decision make our voting system vulnerable to foreign influence?

It is possible.

What is Harry Reid doing about it? Is he already under the spell of a foreign influence?

I'm sure he will get to it right after the Senate passes a budget.

Laws and Regulations Regarding Foreign Money in U.S. Elections Since 1966, foreign nationals have been prohibited from donating money to American campaigns; recent legislation and Supreme Court decisions have only reinforced this principle. However, the lack of disclosure in the new super PACs means that foreign donations will be harder to detect, and American elections may be vulnerable to foreign influence.
