The election cost around $300M and with under 14M people voting. That works out to about $21 per vote. Personally I don't think it was worth a penny over $7.50.

I wonder how they cost that? Does it include individual donations? Or the tax credits from those donations? Or what?
I often think elections are run on the cheap - all those wooden tables and rickety chairs - so where does the money go?
