- leereeves 9y agoAnd the two parties spent $2.5 billion on an election in which about 125 million votes were cast. $20 per vote. At that rate, even if the Russians ads we're discussing had all been targeted at the Presidential election in those 3 states (far from true), that only equals about 5,000 votes. Further assuming that 2/3's of votes aren't changeable and the $2.5 billion was spent to influence the remaining third, we're talking about 1500 votes influenced.
