According to the Associated Press, we can expect to see $500 million dollars spent on the upcoming Georgia senate race. This money will be directed at the 7.2 million registered voters, 4.9 million who voted in November of this year. That's approximately one hundred dollars per vote.
Of course the fair citizens of Georgia have had thrusted upon them the fate of the country because a Democratic sweep could put them in charge of the all important Senate. Otherwise we can only expect a paltry part of Biden's programs will become law.
I can imagine myself in a discount shoe store in South Atlanta looking at Oxfords when a man comes up to me and offers me a hundred dollars to vote a certain way. The fate of the country is important but a hundred dollars could buy a lot of Christmas presents.
Rather than accosting people while they are shopping, the public of the Peach state is hearing campaign adds on the radio, tv, and other forms of media from the time they wake up to the time they retire at night. Not to mention the robocalls.
Although they don't want to sound like they are discouraging voting, I'm sure many Democrats wouldn't mind if their Republican counterparts would be so mad at the presidential results they refuse to vote at all. Of course every cloud has a silver lining. In times to come I predict we will see a major overhaul of Hartsfield Airport with new found federal money.
