Senate House Outlay Ratio Fixed by Law and Politics

Washington AP reports that law caps house spending at 5000 dollars per election and senate spending at 25000, yet many campaigns itemize unregulated costs such as travel and printing. Preliminary totals show 60 senate candidates spent about 215,419 dollars and 870 house candidates about 642,193 dollars, with wide variance and some reports exceeding limits. Republican house spending leads 425,268 to 216,925 for Democrats, while senate outlays favor Republicans 119,535 to 95,884. Top spenders include several Republicans in the House and Democrats in the Senate. crucial battles lie in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wyoming, and West Virginia. Republicans hold a narrow 51-45 Senate edge, creating a possibility of a Democratic gain shifting committee control. private talks suggest the outcome may hinge on late votes and potential vice presidential tiebreaker. Democrats target Minnesota and Iowa, with Humphrey challenging Ball and Gillette aiming to top the Democratic ticket in Iowa.
