Whiff (as per TM). There's no electoral college for congressional elections, plus the thesis is just a perpetuation of the existing back-and-forth games. Are you arguing that proportional representation is a bad thing?

My point is that the system is as it is and pointing at unfairness of representation based on people using the system to their advantage isn't necessarily a viable solution. I don't disagree with the electoral college system, I'm just pointing out that popular vote does not always equal the proportionate result.

Well, that and the invevitable comparison to the BSC computer.
