z890rr19m4g	Patrick Flavin	Political Inequality in the American States	2010		.txt	text/plain	352	12	36	I also construct an original Political Inequality Index that ranks the states according to the degree to which the opinions of citizens with low incomes are neglected in state policies compared to the opinions of the middle class and the wealthy. First, I assess political and behavioral explanations and find that representation is more equal in states that have more competitive legislative elections, where the poor turn out to vote at higher rates, and states with a larger interest group community, provided that the community is not dominated by for-profit interests.	cache/z890rr19m4g.txt	txt/z890rr19m4g.txt
