  1. The Prof is an occult mind reader ???

    Now impossible to make ANY changes in ANY election law — without a lawsuit by the usual suspects ???

    i.e. now a super need to put ENTIRE election law codes into constitutions ???

  2. Because no one has the leadership abilities to understand the purest math of proportional representation there will always be those well-intentioned do-gooders who purposefully try to affect the voting system whether it’s against Top Two, implementing IRV or gerrymandering and picking candidates without fairness.

    The USA and International Parliaments have never has such problems in 20 consecutive because pure proportional representation is the only mathematical election system which hasn’t been improved in more than 100 years.
