Still missing the point, huh? I am only responding to your false implication that a specific vote is equivalent to the legislator's position on the topic.
I made no such claim. For example, in some states, citizens can write legislation and with enough signatures, get it put on the ballot. Almost without exception these propositions are so poorly written that they should be voted down even by, and maybe especially by people who avidly support the goal of the proposition. The unintended consequences of a poorly written law may be worse than no law at all. I am not talking about Cheney or VRA at all.

Provide proof Cheney supports a new version of the VRA. She voted against a new version, which you claim doesn't mean anything
