An unusually active lame duck session enabled the 113th Congress to avoid its predecessor’s record for legislative unproductivity.
Most eligible voters — typically 8-in-ten or more — live in House districts with little or no real competition between candidates and parties.
If history is any guide, well under half of eligible voters will come out to vote in Tuesday’s midterms.
Lame duck congressional sessions have become more common in recent years, but their actual legislative productivity has varied considerably.
Only nine major-party candidates have won a second presidential nomination after losing a previous election, and only four of those won the second time around.
The current Congress remains on pace to be one of the least legislatively productive in recent history.
