True! And I agree. But that is a separate issue all together. If you want campaign finance reform... by all means get it passed, you will have my vote.
But, that does not change the fact, that the funding practices are not currently against any rules, so therefor the election results are what they are. If we as a country continue down this path of using the COURT SYSTEM to overturn every thing the VOTER vote for just because one side didn't like the outcome, where does that leave us?
Basically, that is creating a society where JUDGES not THE PEOPLE (or their representatives) are making the laws. What happens down the road to the laws you hold dear when your opposition party gets into power and throws them all out via the court system?
