Funding for a candidate or a measure can be revealing.Before voting for a candidate or a measure it is worth the effort to do a little research to discover,who are the financial supporters. This research was done in August 2024. The organization Oregon Ranked Choice Voting Advocates is a 501c4 non profit that is advocating for Ranked Choice Voting in Oregon. It brought RCV to Benton County in 2016 and Multnomah Co in 2022. It is interesting that it is a non profit. As a non profit the money donated to it cannot be searched publicly. When researching the PACs (Political Action Committees) related to M117. Funding for YES on M117 shows that it comes from the non profit Ranked Choice Voting Advocates. At the time of this research $309,000 had been funneled from the non profit to the PAC.Money that is funneled through the non profit provides a shield. There is no way to track where that money originated from. Did it orginate from out of state donors? Out of state non profits? Other political PACS? Where did it come from? When the money cannot be traced to an original source it gives way to speculation and possible "dark money" influence.
