We have to draw a distinction between what political parties do through their own rules and what is done through the statute. The statute of course has a number of exemptions; for example, to take a very basic one, child care expenses for a candidate, or expenses for a disabled candidate to be able to move around, and so on. There is a rationale for all of these. What I'm saying is that if there's a rationale for this exemption, it should simply be put on the public record and explained.
