NIMP, which has merged with CRP to become OpenSecrets,* says over 3.9 billion in state dollars, if that helps you get closer...  https://www.followthemoney.org

I know that Open Secrets has a good study out there on total federal election spending in the 2020 elections: https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2021/02/2020-cycle-cost-14p4-billion-doubling-16/<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.opensecrets.org%2fnews%2f2021%2f02%2f2020-cycle-cost-14p4-billion-doubling-16%2f&c=E,1,usC4CxvpX_-DWxKSkpAEe0TL0TYFdi2OqCxRSpgK0HYSEMeSUkUPx7_MU6-oodG77AMNHVv6uGzmSidNJjQtrZ1AeucuqIr4yL_8v60gc5Em2-CSBJygruyOUYuY&typo=1>



Has anyone done a reliable study that also includes numbers for state and local elections in 2020?  I’d appreciate any leads.



Thanks!
