I was just thinking of how much that is, and it certainly seems way out of proportion for a house race.
But then I thought to put it into context.
In a certain light, it is actually not very much. Metro Atlanta's GDP is apparently something like $340 billion (thank you for that, google). So that comes out to a bit less than .01% of the Atlanta area's GDP.
With the stakes as high as they are, in a certain sense it is surprising that more is not spent on elections than is already the case - and that is with money in politics being a large problem as is!
