One Amicus, at Least, in U.S. Supreme Court Wisconsin Gerrymandering Case, Mentions Alternate Voting Systems

There are 31 amici curiae briefs (on the side opposed to the government of Wisconsin) to the U.S. Supreme Court in Gill v Whitford, the partisan gerrymandering lawsuit that will be argued next month. Probably the one amicus brief that explains there are alternatives to single-winner districts is the one submitted by Fairvote and One Nation One Vote. The amicus says the current Wisconsin districts should be held unconstitutional, based on the motives of the Republican majority who drafted the districts. Then it explains the virtues of using ranked choice voting, cumulative voting, or limited voting.

One Amicus, at Least, in U.S. Supreme Court Wisconsin Gerrymandering Case, Mentions Alternate Voting Systems — 2 Comments

  1. ALL current major regimes in the USA —

    1. Unequal votes for each gerrymander area winner.

    2. Unequal total votes in each gerrymander area

    3. 1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged districts = 1/4 or less CONTROL
    — since 1964 SCOTUS gerrymander cases.

    —–
    Proportional Representation for ALL legislative body elections – both majority rule (Democracy) and minority representation.

    PR – around since the 1820s-1840s — about 50-70 years after 1776 for the gerrymander hacks in the USA to get entrenched (even more than divine right of kings got entrenched for thousands of years).

    BUT see Locke about DROK- Second Treatise of Government (1690) – just after the end of the King James regime in Britain.

    NO PR in USA in 1860 — result – about 750,000 DEAD on both sides in 1861-1865.

    The armies of amicus MORONS are brain dead ignorant about the *Republican Form of Government* in Art. IV, Sec 4 of the dead USA Const.

    Clue 1 — RFG AIN’T no rotted stinking minority rule monarchy/ oligarchy as in most of Europe in 1787.

    Leaving — guess what —
    Clue 2 — starts with D, ends with Y — aka majority rule regimes.

  2. Only one system of voting is acceptable and that is pure proportional representation (PR).

    The 7th California Parliament has been using pure proportional representation correctly for more than twenty-two consecutive years and it works fine.

    Nobody has it as good as the United Coalition.
