dieseltaylor Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 BBC article quotes that figure without saying if that is the 469 Senate and representative seats up for grabs. I assume it is as the article concentrates on the types of adverts and the personalities involved. There are other cases such as an elected DA having a local billionnaire [business under investigation] financing a campaign against him. So simple maths says each voter could just be given 33$ to vote right! Actually thats simple maths and you might want to pay those who could vote but dont' so it would be $15 bucks each. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11656690 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
