But if voting puts Harry Potter at the top, while spending puts Adam Smith or Charles Darwin at the top, then this is something you should seriously consider before endorsing voting as the best way to elect presidents.
Why would serious consideration of electing presidents by paying for them (which would pretty obviously lead to immediate tyranny, and disenfranchise almost everyone) follow from Adam Smith having had more money spent on his books than J K Rowling?
Is it not worth the same consideration if J K Rowling earned more from her books than Adam Smith*?
*Which she did, by far.
