Thought experiment: what if Congress teleworked
I was just doing two things simultaneously: turning on my Outlook out-of-office message because I'm teleworking tomorrow, and reading about how Sen. Roberts (R-Kansas) is facing a serious primary challenge because voters think he's not spending enough time in the state. You can see where this is going...
What if Congress teleworked? What if instead of all coming to DC and living in isolation from reality, they literally just phoned it in? Certainly current technology makes it possible, and given how poisonous current Congressional politics are its hard to get sentimental over any loss of congressional "fellowship." What would the downside be?

Do you know how long it's going to take them to fly all over the country trying to cut backroom deals 1 or 2 elected officials at a time, and having the kind of discussions you don't want traveling over public communications?
