« Comptroller DiNapoli | Main | A Downside for Mineola? »

Quick Math

Q -- If you figure there were 51,460 votes cast in the Johnson-O'Connell race, including the early total of absentee ballots, and if the projections are correct that the final spending by both campaigns will total $5 million, how much was spent per vote?

A -- About $97.16.

Another Q -- Is that necessarily a bad thing?

Yeah, of course it's a bad thing. The candidates were so lousy they had to practically bribe voters with $100 bills to go to the polls. They may as well just sent each voter a C-Note.
