Imagine asking a politician how much he/she would pay for your vote. No worry about your party affiliation, or how you’ve voted in the past. No messy TV ads to mislead you, nor scripted robo-calls. In short, no B.S.
How much, please?
It’s not as far-fetched as you’d think. Estimates put the total amount to be spent on all 2012 U.S. elections at between $6 and $8 billion.
