But, if a market in votes is objectionable because it corrupts democracy, what about systems of campaign finance (including the one currently in place in the United States) that give wealthy donors a disproportionate voice in elections? The reason to reject a market in votes –&#160;preserving the integrity of democracy – may be a reason to limit financial contributions to political candidates as well.
然而如果因为腐蚀民主制度就可以反对一个选票市场，那么又该如何看待那些在选举中给予富有捐助者一个不相称的影响力的竞选筹款体制（包括美国当前这个）。反对选票市场的理由——维护民主制度的完整性——或许也是一个限制对政治候选人实施经济资助的理由。
