> Whos going to pay for that? The cost of running this year's EU election in our country where this system is used (paper ballots without any electronic counting), adjusted for the difference in median income between our country and the US, was reported to be around $15 per voter. The 2020 US presidential election gathered 160 million votes, which would put the price of this system at $2.4 billion. According to figures contained in a report by the MIT Election Lab [1], the cost of running a nation-wide US election is estimated to be between $2 and $5 billion.
