Millions of dollars are flowing into Montanas US Senate race before voters go to the polls on Tuesday and thats just for the Republican primary.
GOP candidates and conservative outside groups have already poured about $5.7 million into the primary for Montanas US Senate race on Tuesday. Thats about $5.60 per resident and about $8 per registered voter in the state, which has a population of about 1 million. Even in increasingly expensive general elections, this level of spending in a primary is something new.
We really havent seen this level of spending in a primary in any of the cycles Im aware of, University of Montana journalism professor Lee Banville said.
