How do voters learn about a member’s voting record?
What will be an ideal response?
Very few voters personally monitor a member’s voting record; although this information is public, most voters are simply not sufficiently informed or motivated to do so. Instead, they rely largely on challengers and outside groups to publicize a member’s voting record. Outside groups are particularly likely to do so during campaigns and may highlight specific votes or give members a grade or score on their votes on a particular issue or set of issues important to the group.
