Ragpad : if one ignores the huge amount of dark money and support from the Richest man in the world. The data may look like Harris/Walz spent more. That is a lot of overlooking. A $billion spent in the blue wall "swing " states alone. In fact, the swing states uniformly went for tRump because of the attack ad buys loaded with lies and defamation of their opponents. Add the sexism and racism and the only 3 month campaign duration, and that contributed to the "trifecta" 'win'. The Supreme Court has become a very large cash cow when the cases they decide favor the Obscenely Wealthy. Remember the Citizens United decision? Unlimited corporate money in elections. The average citizen is restricted to mere $3,000 to $6,000 donations, if I read it right. Of course, for most working voters, that is a lot of money to donate.
Agreed; your assessment may very well be very accurate, after we get all the FEC numbers. I have been a lifelong Independednt (but not voted for ANY Republican since 2000) got so many ads disguised as from third-party candidates, labeling brain-wormed RFK, Jr. a liberal Democcrat, and utter lies about Kamala Harris/Tim Walz - all no thanks to that Moron Muskrat's money. (I live in Western PA.) We should denaturalize that illegal alien and send him back to apartheid-hating ghettos in South Africa to get a taste of newfangled "white apartheid."
Donald ; the money spent by Harris/Walz was spent in an effort to save our country, for sure. MAGAs would like to somehow indict Harris/WAlz because they were able to raise some serious money. This is a criticism I hear from the extreme "right" often. I have had "conservatives" say that Bernie Sanders is extremely wealthy because he has a nice home, like it is some kind of crime, but I have never heard the same critics put a Republican down for having several homes and a Yacht, or even billions.
That's what I have been trying to figure out, Laurie... They're already wealthy, what more could they possibly require to be more comfy ? For all that wealth, they have bottomless Depravity. A sickness of never being satisfied.
The Russian troll farms, the Fox "news", Newsmax, right wing radio and even "Mainstream" and internet media contribute a lot of attention to tRUMP tRUMP and more tRUMP coverage, exxing out the coverage given to Harris/ Walz. Another influence is the purging of voters from rolls, and the "spoiled" Ballots that are discarded. Even now, many ballots in some states are discarded if the date isn't on the outside envelope, or some other tiny technicality.

Laurie--The money spent accounts for nothing, other than it wasn't wasted. It was spent in an effort to save our country from a mad man.

Good point, Laurie. The FEC doesn't count the billions in free publicity given to drumpf by the media
in the last 8+ years.
