With the 2012 U.S. elections right around the corner, it only seems only right to take a look at the numbers that accompany this Magnanimous Event, when it comes to cost and spending.

The results are staggering! We’re on the road to this becoming the costliest elections in U.S. history with a total coming in at $6 Billion which translates in to about $41 per vote.

The sky seems to be the limit when it comes to spending in the current electoral process, comparing to the mere $49 Million spent in the UK elections. And even if we see this number to be colossal, we can only say one thing for sure: it’s only going to increase as the years go by!
