84 Senators Still Stand for the Tyranny of Paper

Even the House of Representatives does it. Say what you will about the dysfunction in that chamber, but at least all 435 members are required to file their campaign finance reports online. The Senate? Not so much.

According to the Center for Public Integrity, just 16 of the 100 senators filed their reports electronically for the second quarter of this year. That's up one senator (Jack Reed, D-RI) from the first quarter filings. Of the 16 e-filers, 12 are Democrats, two are independents, and two are Republicans.
