Voting is our voice. Corporations can not be allowed to influence our vote. Russia does not have the right to control our thoughts about our elections. Media can not be allowed to lie about a candidate to influence our vote.
The adds for candidates must be verified. If they are false the candidate must withdraw from the race if after their words are verified and found to be false or misleading.
