Seattle Democracy Vouchers
Public campaign vouchers broadened donors - or didn't.
C · 15/24
1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)
Give residents vouchers to fund campaigns.
2 · The realist counter-case
Critics question who actually uses them.
3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats
250%+ more donors / 84% first-time in city data, but an APSR study found vouchers do not diversify donors (older/whiter/wealthier).
4 · Liberty check
Broadens participation vs. public-cost and capture.
5 · The real tradeoff
Studies disagree - read honestly.
