Just as a corollary to that, if it's impossible to influence a vote, I'm curious as to why there are pre-writ spending limits for political parties? If it's impossible to influence a vote during the pre-writ period, why do we have limits for political parties in those pre-writ periods? It just seems to be at odds there. We have one but not the other. If it's impossible to influence them, why are we preventing that?
