Only indirectly related, but important. You referred to (without naming it) the Citizens United decision of the Supreme Court that opened the floodgates for government of the money, by the money and for the money. This decision does NOT require a Constitutional Amendment to be overturned. U.S. Constitution, Article 3, Section 2, last sentence: "In all the other Cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have APPELLATE Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, WITH SUCH EXCEPTIONS, AND UNDER SUCH REGULATIONS AS THE CONGRESS SHALL MAKE." (Capitalization added for focus. Appellate refers to appealed cases, not cases with original jurisdiction.) If Congress passed a law restoring electoral reforms previously stripped by the Supreme Court, and referenced this clause to tell the Court that this law is outside their jurisdiction, it could be accomplished.
