What is the general sense being expressed to them currently? It's there any effort made to see how the average person in their district feels about the issue? What about those who have an opinion? That's what representation means. It isn't intended to end when ballots are counted. People can contact their representatives. Each representative has a paid staff to accommodate the scale of that communication. If you can show that the average consistuent in a district has a shared opinion, and that opinion is being overruled by their representative, then you have illustrated the failure of representation. If you can show a pattern where the opinions of a minority group are being chosen over an opinionated majority, then you have illustrated the corruption of that representative.

> What is the general sense being expressed to them currently? On right-to-repair, from their constituiencies? Likely nothing. I'm an avid consumer of news, including local, and there's been very little coverage of it. > If you can show that the average consistuent in a district has a shared opinion, and that opinion is being overruled by their representative, then you have illustrated the failure of representation. Nah. Politics is complicated and full of compromise; sometimes you give in on one battle to win another. > If you can show a pattern where the opinions of a minority group are being chosen over an opinionated majority, then you have illustrated the corruption of that representative. Or a pattern of upholding minority rights, a core component of our Constitution.
