Article Abstract:

The Californian Legislature's attempt to establish electronic filing requirements for election campaign data failed in 1996 as neither Republicans nor Democrats are interested in allowing the other party to garner a reformist image. Politicians, cutting across party lines, are in favour of posting campaign finance information on the Internet so as to provide wider accessibility to campaign donor lists. However, their anticipation of potential problems in the 1996 election year made them reluctant to provide quick support to the four bills, catering to electronic filing.
