Of the 45 house races where last election margin was <10 pts and both sides have raise at least 1m, the money diff is
Average 20.4%,
Median 9.4%
So 15% is not an extraordinary diff. That said the above screenshot is missing about ~3m which would push to ~20%, on the upper end but not extraordinary.
@teddyschleifer Curious how you handle attributing PAC spending that doesn't directly name a candidate? (canvassing, mail and digital spending etc.)
I spread them across the candidates the same PACโs ads named in the weeks around each payment.
@SteveCortes Untraceable money
Ossoff: $10.2m (6% of total)
Collins: $644k (2% of total)
The spending is so one sided in this race, it doesn't matter much.
@ExcludesNI@SteveCortes Harris left - Trump right
Breakdown of spending sources including untraceable sources.
D Money is far less traceable than R Money across all elections.
What is the cheapest Senate election this cycle?
Wyoming for total of ~$7 million (including primary spending between R's)
Last Wyoming Senate election was +50 R
It must be noted; 1960-1990s Texas dems while far from their solid south roots, would be considered conservative Republicans by modern standards.
So Talarico would be the first real liberal senator.
