I’d like to see the data on how much was spent, per voter, on this ludicrous contest. Maybe we should just hand out money to citizens, and skip this embarrassing horse race. Okay, I decided to do it myself: $123 million spent, divided by 110,000 voters, equals $1,118 per voter. I’d rather have the money, even if it was less than half that! Campaigns are torture for everyone involved.

We have it that Smarmy spent $8 mil and I thought The Caudillo de DeSantistan was close to or over $100 mil.

Chunk in the other eight or so, probably close to $175.

I believe the $123M represents only the total of *ad buys* by the campaigns and the PACs. It does not include spending "on the ground" for events and staff.
