It's possible that Channel 58's reporter here, Ajay Bayatpour, got bad information (probably from a Crawford operative). It's also possible that he's a lousy researcher. Either way, this needs correction:
... Crawford's campaign has outspent Schimel's, however Musk's funding largely explains why independent spending in the race has favored Schimel. Musk has spent more than $20 million on this race compared to $2 million by Soros and $1.5 billion by Pritzker, although Schimel has noted he has no control over how Musk's political groups spend their dollars....
First off, the blatantly obvious: Pritzker has NOT spent $1.5 BILLION on the race.
But he has spent a helluvalot!
As we mentioned on this blog earlier, Pritzker is in for $6.5 MILLION. And Soros is in for $4.45 MILLION. And Reid Hoffman is in for $14.4 MILLION.
Those three out-spent Musk by about $5 MILLION.
But there's more! A California woman named Karla Jurvetson is in for $7.3 MILLION.
Ajay, my friend: catch up with the times!
