Why allow non-voters to donate to candidates?

Submitted by Randall Burns (not verified) on August 10, 2013 - 12:55am.

What I don't get: why doesn't the amendment restrict legitimate donations to those that can vote in US elections?

I'm unsure about giving this much latitude to congress. I'd rather simply
move to 100% publicly funded elections-with the funds allocated by
citizens chosen by lottery from the voters. Those citizens would be
the only legitimate source of campaign funding-and candidates would have to
go through them.
