States spend 35 million to sway voters in final push
The AP finds state parties have injected at least 35 million of their own funds to mobilize voters ahead of Election Day. Local parties also channel soft-money from unions and corporations in at least 14 states, financing get-out-the-vote drives, mass mailings and ads to influence ticket choices from the White House to local offices. Major spenders include New Jersey, California, and Texas with multi million dollar allocations.
