A Cornell University political scientist has statistically debunked two decades of influential U.S. research claiming politicians ignore ordinary voters. The flawed studies used selective data and triggered Simpson's paradox. The real gap in political influence, the new analysis finds, lies between the general public and the ultra-wealthy — not between middle- and upper-income groups.
