How many RegisteredVoters are there this year (2012)? I am trying to find out what the break-down is for people who have decided not to vote this year. Would you please help me out?

Approximately 131,000,000 votes were cast in the presidential election of 2008.

2.22 billion divided by 131 million is $16.94

No. You have too many zero's there. A Billion is one-thousand-million. So they spent two billion, 140 million dollars. Divide that by the number of voters, and you're going to get something like a thousand per voter. Don't sell your vote so cheap. If it's that easy, you will have the biggest -hat for a president.

The above says Bush spent 1.14 billion on his 2004 campaign. I'll go with that.

If a candidate spends $1.14 billion, and there is a potential of 169 million voters, that's $6.74 per vote (6.74 x 169 mil. = 1.14 bil.).

If you calculate what Bush spent per person that voted for him (62 mil), the amount spent per vote goes up to $18.39 per person.

BUT... if you consider how much he paid per vote that made the difference in his defeat of Kerry (Bush won by 3 million votes), Bush paid $380 per vote. Ouch.
