Then again, lets screw this voting stuff and just sell the offices to the highest bidder.
National politicsAccording to this Center for Responsive Politics article:
In 96 percent of House races and 91 percent of Senate races that had been decided by mid-day [November 4th], the candidate who spent the most money won, according to a post-election analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. The findings are based on figures reported Oct. 13 to the Federal Election Commission.
I mean really, whoever pays the most gets the office. Should help the budget and end up with pretty damn similar results.
Seriously though, this doesn’t seem ok.
