disclosure of campaign spending makes the government and public aware of where all money is going and makes it harder for corrupt spending to occur.
disclosure of campaign spending prevents corruption by making candidates only spend their own private funds.
disclosure of campaign spending allows for public money to be used to fund elections and prevents any other money from being used to prevent corruption.
disclosure of campaign spending limits the amount of money that can be donated to campaigns and therefore limits corruption.
