When it comes to those that are spending 10 thousand or less it is perfectly understanding with. 3 percent of the totem spending why you wouldnt audit any. I worry about the message that sends. We are saying if you spend 10 thousand of less you have zero risk if you misspent the funds and not sure that is the message we want to send. Even if it is a rel tivly token percentage at least it sends a message there is some risk that fraudulent reporting would be caught and fined by the commission. My other concern, when it comes to the audit i think a lot of that depends on how quickly you can ge through them. One thing im concerned is lets make sure we do them faster and if people dont comply we should hold it against them and not wait for them to give materials. If you tell me it is lot faster than the past then what you suggested makes sense. If it is about the same speed than we run the risk where candidates who lose dont have a vested interest complying and may be long gone by the time
