Allen West spent $18.1 million for the 164,353 votes in his loss to Patrick Murphy. That’s $109.90 a vote – not counting outside superPAC money.
Sun Sentinel: “West took in more than $1.9 million from Oct. 18 through Nov. 6 – which means cash was pouring in at the rate of $3,975 an hour, 24/7, as the campaign approached the end.”
