[EM] Election blocking tactic

[Richard]

The current political situation in Washington DC makes it very clear 
that money controls both Republican and Democratic members of Congress. 
Yet the source of this corruption is often overlooked because it 
involves vote splitting during primary elections and the timing of 
campaign contributions.

In spite of the importance of this money-over-votes influence, I haven't 
seen articles in Wikipedia or Electowiki that explain what's really 
going on with elections.

So, I've written a new Electowiki article as a step toward educating 
voters.  It's titled "Election blocking tactic."  Here's the link:

https://electowiki.org/wiki/Election_blocking_tactic

This article explains, in academic style, the blocking tactic that's 
used to control both the Republican and Democratic parties during 
primaries using money.  Basically it's money-based vote splitting (by 
funding "spoiler" candidates) and vote concentration (by legal forms of 
bribery to withdraw) during primary elections.  The obvious effect is 
that elected Republicans in Congress and elected Democrats in Congress 
represent the biggest campaign contributors, not the voters.

I have two questions:

Is there any existing academic terminology about the blocking tactic 
that I'm overlooking?

I've inserted "citation needed" tags where academic article references 
are needed to meet Wikipedia standards.  Do any of you know of any such 
academic articles?

In advance, thank you for any assistance.
