How many Americans vote? About a hundred million? So the average value of a vote is in the area of $10,000. That is a lot of money. Sure it is much less if you live outside a swingstate, but not by a factor 100k.

But this is a total budget spending per voter, not a difference between your income under hypothetical scenarios where each of the candidates win.
