HARRY REID: If this flood of outside money continues, the day after the election, seventeen angry old white men will wake up and realize they just bought the country. That’s a sad commentary. About 60% or more of these outside dollars is coming from these seventeen people.

Witness A is all of the Republican voter suppression efforts. Witness B is the Republican efforts to prevent you from knowing just who is buying the election.
