And this, after that, is when the ask takes place for donors to contribute to the super PAC.
These are just some of the loopholes that people like Henrik have seen.
And super PACs aren't just working in federal elections.
They're in state and local politics, too.
And this is where they can really have an outsized impact.
More and more cities are seeing the same experience.
And no matter what office, city council, mayoral, or school board, where you see outside money pouring in, you know, why are local races more and more...
targets of super PACs.
It's because a few hundred thousand dollars in super PAC money can dwarf what candidates can raise.
It can set the agenda.
It can define candidates and frame the story.
Local elections often have less media coverage and less voter attention.
So ads do more of the teaching there and more of the persuading.
There is, of course, also a local media vacuum.
We have over 200 counties in the U.S.
that don't have a local newspaper anymore.
And may soon not have a local radio station.
And that too.
So that may have no local source whatsoever.
So when local news is thin or non-existent, these super PACs become the narrator of the race.
