9. "Voting Republican while being on welfare"

In the case of Arkansas, at least, the richest of the 4 Congressional districts is the 3rd district in the northwestern part of the state, which has had a Republican representative since 1967. Arkansas has long had a reputation of being a poor state, but the northwest is enjoying relative wealth and a very low unemployment rate. So people in the rest of the state look to the northwest and think that if they vote for a Republican for Congress or Senate, it will help to bring prosperity to their part of the state, too.
