GOP Senate candidates significantly underfunded compared with Democrats rivals in key states
By Rajan Laad
Recently Breitbart performed a comparative study of fundraising and spending between Republicans and Democrats for key midterm races.
As expected GOP was outspent and outraised by a wide margin.
Start with Arizona.
How much was spent?
GOP candidate Blake Masters spent about $1.00 for every $7.50 spent by sitting Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly.
OpenSecrets revealed that Kelly spent $73,477,987 in his successful reelection bid, while Masters only spent $9,412,054.
How much was raised?
Kelly raised an astounding $79.3 million, while Masters managed to raise a mere $12 million.
To make matter worse, Arizona took ages to count their votes, causing some to speculate that fraud may have occurred behind the scenes. (Editor's note: See also Jay Valentine's article on that in today's AT here).
Kelly won the race, he received around 52 percent of the mandate, i.e., 1,322,026 votes, while Masters managed 46.5% percent of the mandate, i.e., 1,196,308 votes.
