Basic PR —
Party Members = Party Votes x [[[ Total Members / Total Votes ]]]
TM/TV = N
PM = PV/N
—
EXACT — Voting Power of PM = PV
Difficult for the armies of New Age math morons (getting dumber by the second) – esp. gerrymander oligarchs and SCOTUS and the media.
Demorep: you don’t think something like stv would be better? It could be simplified although I don’t know how yet.
Derek-
PM = PV/N — means each legis winner of each party gets the SAME [equal] votes — to have ONE [equal] vote in the legislative body.
LEGIS STV via CANDIDATE rank order lists of other candidates — made public before election days —
mainly for the coalition fractional/marginal math member/seat — eg – Donkeys-Greens — Elephants-LP, etc.
— pending Condorcet, Yes/No tiebreakers and all mail ballots.
PR will shatter both the Donkeys and Elephants gangs into more factions
— regarding the various issues — esp. tax/borrow — spend issues.
What percent of all voters number rank ALL choices ??? — even in current limited RCV elections.
—–
The current TOTAL DANGER ROT — bit worse in CA — due to top 2 primary.
25.8 pct of all votes for 41 LOW D WIN = OLIGARCHY.
Regular primary States — about 29-31 pct for each minority rule OLIGARCHY

———–
The USELESS brain dead media is too lazy/stupid to report the math as SCANDAL/DISASTER story ONE after each ANTI-Democracy election.
Such media only raves about Prezs, Guvs, Mayors — basic contempt for all legislative body machinations.
Cumulative voting is not pure proportional representation (PPR) and tends to award a majority faction of the voters, a super-majority of the seats.
The mathematics of PPR have not been improved on for more than 100 years but it isn’t easy to learn how the collaboration is nurtured easily under the math.
That’s why we at All Party System Co., USA have created a volunteer signup page where our first volunteer is in charge of coordinating more volunteers.
Our first volunteers for the One Libertarian ticket Ogle/Lightfoot POTUS 2020 will count the votes under single transferable vote (STV).
Sign up for 2020 volunteer vote counting here:
http://www.allpartysystem.com/volunteers.php
Not sure how the ticket will evolve. Leaning towards Lightfoot/Ogle [Libertarian/One], opposite gender #1, but the voters will decide.
PR exists to get indirect MAJORITY RULE (AKA DEMOCRACY) into legislative bodies –
nothing more and nothing less.
