No parallel at all. The Constitution explicitly forbids "campaign finance reform," in Amendment One. It explicitly recognizes the rights of sovereign entities to regulate the times, places, and manner of elections. That includes empowering legislation. This would be easy to do. Calling the press to account is impossible, and wrong. You have a right to disseminate incorrect information if free speech has any meaning. You have the right to control the electoral process if representative democracy has any.
Of course, if I were voting queen, I would have everyone sign the voter I.D. roll with their fingerprint so that everyone could be proven ELIGIBLE to vote, and only vote once, and I would have all absentee ballots have a fingerprint on them as well.
