Many states began early voting in person and by mail last week, and so far nearly 30 million people have cast ballots. More than 120 voters are expected to participate in these elections. The two main parties and their supporters have so far spent unprecedented sums on political campaigns in order to obtain a majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate. Bahman Kolbasi, a reporter for the BBC, looked at the amount of money spent in this election.
