Lots of great ideas here around how to augment the Congressional voting system to counter influence of dark, corporate money, but as a few have pointed out, not voting at all seems to be preferred on most potential legislation. I think that's because super PACs and corporate lobbyists are fighting for overall influence, not legislative outcomes --that is, how existing law is regulated/interpreted, how Congresspersons posture on various issues that are far away from a vote (esp. when affecting economic outcomes), and most importantly how Congresspersons wield the threat of their powers (e.g. initiating an inquiry or whatever the formality is into their corporate patron's rival).
