WASHINGTON (AP) — You can do a lot with a billion dollars — but still not change much. This Election Day, it’s likely to produce another Republican-led House that’s little different from the existing version.

Candidates, both political parties and hordes of corporate, labor, ideological and other groups have spent a record $1.1 billion on House races since this campaign cycle began last year, according to data compiled by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Yet by the time the last votes are counted Tuesday, Democrats may pick up a handful of districts but are widely expected to miss their goal of gaining the 25 additional seats they need to grab control of the chamber.
