[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I took the fundraising dollars from the DC Geekery link above, divided by the vote totals, to get dollars per vote for every candidate.

Overall, the candidates got $1,143,790 and 16,496 votes were cast, which comes to $69.34 per vote.

Frumin raised $229,157 and got 6,850 votes, a rate of $33.45 per vote, the lowest in the race. (Except for Cohen, who got 165 votes and pledged to spend less than $500, or $3 per vote.)

The highest was Monash, who raised $163,735 and got  750 votes, a staggering $218.3 per vote. This is particularly noteworthy when you consider Duncan and Bergmann both raised significant amounts --  $140,913 and $116,519 -- but dropped out before election day. They came in at  $164.43 and $168.14 per vote.

Goulet raised $173,205 and got 5,044 votes, or $34.34 per vote. If you add in the estimated $400K in dark money he got it comes to  $113.64 per vote.

Rounding out the field: 
Finley
 $110,685 
 840 
 $131.77

Thomas
 $132,425 
 1,002 
 $132.16

Brown
 $77,151 
 460 
 $167.72

Adding Goulet's dark money brings the total to $1,543,790 and the average to  $93.59.

It'll be interesting to see how this works out once final vote tallies and expenses are in.[/quote]
