Put a hard limit on the amount of money that is allowed to be spent, and that limit is based on how much the less wealthy can spend.

If the more wealthy wants to spend more, they can give money to the other side so they can spend equally huge amounts.

Your honor we only spent $30,000 on the case, that other $100,000,000 was spent on marketing.
