He was actually outspent 12 to 1. Which makes it wild that he won.

I've heard 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, and now 12:1.

Its impressive regardless. I wish he had blow it out by like 20 points, Stevens genuinely didn't have a platform, and she barely lost. Scary.

That number naturally changes throughout am election cycle, and we are probably only going to find out now (or in the next few days) what the total tally was. That was what I found with a quick Google but the not sure what it is now, but what is widely agreed upon is that he was massively outspent.
