Re: “Yes on 50 outraises opponents by 2-to-1” (Page A1, Sept. 27).

The recent article pointing out that those in favor of Proposition 50 have outraised its opponents by a 2-to-1 margin is good news for those of us who are concerned about preserving our democracy.

However, the 2-to-1 ratio is misleading. As the article points out, over 700,000 folks have contributed to “yes on 50,” while virtually all the money in opposition has come from a single billionaire. The real headline-worthy ratio is 700,000-to-1.

The fact that billionaires continue to buy our democracy out from under us is itself a main reason to support Proposition 50.
