In the United States campaign contributions are made to various candidates running for election or re election for official positions in the Federal, State and local governments. Supporters of the policies and voting records of candidates are accessed by campaign donors for the purpose of having officials who share the same goals with regards to public policies and legislation. There are at any given point in time a huge variety of public issues that need to be addressed. A donor to a campaign does not expect the candidate he or she supports to be in total agreement with each other. However there are certain issues which there is agreement.

Arriving at a judgment on that election did NOT involve a political question, but a PROCEDURAL one.
