The regulations can be found here: https://www.bpc.ohio.gov/judicial-candidates https://www.bpc.ohio.gov/judicial-candidates I have no idea what OP is talking about, but if there is something out of whack from the regs, my recommendation is to cite sources and events and contrast them with the regulations.

I believe OP's point is that the problem is the regs - that the regs are such that judges can be completely within the regs and yet corrupt. Like you, I have no idea whether it's true...

And I am unaware of what, "regs" you are trying to address, but the current situation is clear, without trying to change the subject: Domestic judges are elected positions that can and do solicit campaign contributions from local attorneys. At the end of that campaign extra funds can and do end up in the pockets of the judges themselves. This is equivalent to lawyers directly paying off the judges. The way an attorney described it to me is that every attorney worth their salt immediately starts making the maximum contributions to every judge on the bench every 4 years. What "regs" do you need to show this? My guess though is that you do know the truth, you are an attorney and your comment is just trying to distract from what's going on.

  Well, which is it? Are there unlimited contributions and gifts going to campaigns, as you originally said, or is there an informal practice to hit the regulatory limitations, as your comment said? You need to cite evidence and cite the laws that support your complaint. Otherwise you just sound like you are angrily ranting. I'm not trying to distract, I gave you a link to all the info to help you cite your sources. I'm encouraging you to put together a cohesive argument to support your claims so you have an opportunity to prove what you are trying to say. If you choose not to do so, that is on you.
