Lame duck politicians can do damage
Now that the elections are over, it will be interesting to see which unpopular bills are pushed through by those who are leaving. Note which lame duck politicians who no longer have to worry about re-election vote in favor of them. Finally, follow whether these politicians were rather quickly given lucrative positions in other parts of the government at the behest of the sponsors of the bills. Just more political shenanigans at the expense of the people they were elected to represent.
