I just explained why spending $1 billion on votes won't affect the outcome of politics, in the other sentence of my post, that you didn't quote. That's part of the reason the cost of votes is nonlinear in this scheme.

You didn't explain anything, you only provided a cryptic analogy.

Don't you have your square roots memorized? 31600 is approximately the square root of a billion. The U.S. population is about 316 million.
