Public financing push in Senate from Kennedy and Scott
Senators Ted Kennedy and Hugh Scott endorse public financing for all general and special federal elections with no private funds option. The plan, tied to 1976 elections, would raise check off contributions and require funding from Congress to cover deficits with spending floors and ceilings for major minor and new parties. It is part of broader election reform supported by the Senate while facing House opposition.
