Wisconsin and Ohio prove 1 thing
That the elected RATpubliCON TeaFarty ilk doesn't care about polling numbers nor where a majority of their constituents stand on a given issue. They only need to represent "Corporate Interest" and their assigned duties as prescribed by their Corporate campaign donors.

So NO - we do not have a "Representative Governance"

2. You are right the F on!
Either they have captured the electoral process or they are determined to do their damage in one term. One or the other. There are voter suppression efforts under way so I suspect it is the former.

3. 77% Of Ohioans Oppose SB 5, Yet The Republicans Will Pass It Anyway
Thus hammering down the final nail in the coffin of belief that we have an actual Representative Democracy in which elected officials actually carry out the will of their constituents.
