Original Note:
Over $10 billion was spent on Congressional elections in 2024. AIPAC contributed less than 0.5% of that; their total contributions were $43.5 million. It is extremely unlikely that <0.5% would be enough to purchase >90% of Congress. https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/cost-of-election https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/american-israel-public-affairs-cmte/summary?id=D000046963
