Due to the expansion of Congress to 20, and the low turnout in this election (about 30), that means 1.5 votes equals 1 Congress seat. Getting awfully close to simply direct democracy. Why have elections at all? We can govern ourselves! :)
On a serious note, we had problems last cycle with people actually showing up to Congress votes. It’s a problem every cycle, frankly. I wonder if we should set a ratio for votes to Congress seats (like 2:1) so that the size of Congress can expand and contract elastically along with the voter pool and that Congress doesn’t get so big that AFKness becomes a major issue.
But what do I know, I’m just a nobody who barely pulled 2nd place out of 3 in my first time on the ballot. :)
