Look at the recent history of the Ohio general assembly. These representatives know their jobs are safe, or at the very least, the party knows they will remain in power. Why is that? It could be a combination of many things: their constituents are single issue voters and they happen to be on the same side, they have too strong of an incumbent's advantage, the state is gerrymandered in a way to make it impossible for their party to lose control, pending voter laws, etc. We see time and time again, at all levels of government: people voting against what they claim are their interests. It goes to show that corporate lapdogs don't need to cover anything up, because of the positive feedback loop where corporate lapdogs keep getting elected!
