Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Prior research shows that, after mandate elections, many members of Congress react by adjusting their voting patterns temporarily, with the effects quickly decaying. Whether these reactions come from globally rational members of Congress who quicly sense the truth or from boundedly rational members of Congress who rely on information from the press is unclear. I test between these rival theories both at the aggregate and individual level, finding that fewer members enter a mandate state in the modern era than before the golden age of television. While additional research should be conducted to verify these results, I tentatively conclude that boundedly rational members of Congress are less capable of recognizing the public's true opinion with a smaller information flow.
