Big Sky, Big Money Academic Help

I’m studying for my Political Science class and need an explanation.

Prompt

Money, as we have already discussed, plays a vital role in elections. Money is necessary for candidates to run their campaigns and inform voters about their qualifications for office and their vision for tomorrow. That being said, outside groups (Super PACs and 501(c)4s) are starting to play an outsized role in elections. As Big Sky, Big Money demonstrates, candidates may fear dark money groups more than they do voters!
