voters say they want that, but do they ever monitor the complexity of any particular bill and vote differently next time strictly because of it?

- csallen 6y agoI misspoke. It's more likely that the vast majority of voters don't care about this issue, and in fact aren't even aware of it.
- vertak 6y agoDoing this is very difficult and exhausting. Several years ago I signed up to follow 3 politicians I cared about using this site https://www.govtrack.us/ https://www.govtrack.us/. Give it a try, and I think you'll see the deluge of laws, bills, and opinions is too much for a mere mortal mind with a 9-5. I think this is why we talk about congresspersons' army of staffers and interns. You would not want a single person trying to deal with the complexity of all this information they need to have an informed opinion on in order to vote for/against.
