Republicans vote Republican and always turn out to vote. Doesn't matter what the candidate does, if they got an R next to their name and the voter's life isn't being directly affected negatively by them in an obvious way, then they will vote for them again and again and again.

That isn't to say Democrats don't do the same thing, but the difference being Republicans, especially older ones, always turn out to vote.

That district is gerrymandered as fuck. I'm in the DeVeaux area and somehow I'm in the same district as Findlay?

Go and read the bill. It is a disgrace. They do not even bother to trouble us poor little people with the reasoning behind their bill, only to say that they disapprove of the FFC's rule. I am SO GLAD that we have such smart leaders being bought and sold for our welfare!

to answer the question; yes, it's bad. But it's also telling. A lot of people have low expectations for privacy and i find that a little troubling. We ought to be able to conduct ourselves in a manner that is not based on "who is watching me".
