Q: Would this be considered a campaign contribution in the US?

Trying to understand how things other than direct cash donations can also be considered campaign contributions in the US, I've formulated the following scenario to explain the thing of potential value; money and resources spent which may benefit a campaign, but not a direct contribution. If I sp...

I need a few more close votes (can't yet do it myself). I'll then revise to get the re-open started.

Thanks!

@MartinTournoij that's not exactly what I just wrote. I'd like the following sequence to happen: close-revise-reopen.

Martin Tournoij

Why not just revise?

uhoh

I am concerned that if I answer, no matter what the answer, you will generate a counterargument why that is not the right way to think.

I have some experience in SE, in several different SE sites, and I have seen and assisted in many closings and re-openings, and found that close-revise-reopen is usually the best way.

For this particular case, it is the way that I would like things to proceed.

It is not so strange to ask why someone would request such a strange thing? shrug

uhoh

Last time I asked the question had three close votes. I can't see the number due to low rep here, but I consider that "mostly closed". I'd like to see if my revision meets the community standard, and the reopen votes would answer that question.

But it is not a strange thing at all, it's a fairly standard way to proceed in SE.

Q: How to (and should I) include a hypothetical example to help define the topic of my question (without setting off alarms)?

Events in the news led me to wonder about campaign finance laws and to what extent they can be applied to activities other than cash donations. I formulated and included a hypothetical scenario which was inspired by current events in order to show the magnitude of that extent I was interested in....

Ah! there were three at one time!

Martin Tournoij

They probably aged away

uhoh

okay in that case, indeed never mind!!

Thank you for the inquiry!
