Weird proposal to allow DC a vote in the House. - (Another Scott) - (26) - May 11, 2006, 12:05:03 AM EDT
         Obviously setup to keep the balance. - (JayMehaffey) - (24) - May 11, 2006, 12:34:36 AM EDT
             Permanently at large congress members could be good - (ben_tilly) - (23) - May 11, 2006, 10:52:37 AM EDT
                 I don't like that idea. - (Another Scott) - (6) - May 11, 2006, 12:52:24 PM EDT
                     An at large must pander to the strident majority - (boxley) - (1) - May 11, 2006, 01:21:31 PM EDT
                         ? That's not the way it works in DC. - (Another Scott) - May 11, 2006, 02:07:01 PM EDT
                     I don't like it, either - (jb4) - (3) - May 11, 2006, 01:50:13 PM EDT
                         who programs the computer? -NT - (boxley) - (2) - May 11, 2006, 02:21:00 PM EDT
                             adminiScott! - (jb4) - May 11, 2006, 02:35:54 PM EDT
                             The algorithm would have to be public - (JayMehaffey) - May 11, 2006, 03:08:55 PM EDT
                 Making them all at large might be OK - (JayMehaffey) - (15) - May 11, 2006, 03:01:33 PM EDT
                     Don't tell me...you're an Engineer, right? -NT - (jb4) - May 11, 2006, 03:09:53 PM EDT
                     Alaska is a perfect example of why that doesnt work - (boxley) - (13) - May 11, 2006, 04:25:44 PM EDT
                         See Another Scott's comments about DC - (ben_tilly) - (10) - May 11, 2006, 05:13:17 PM EDT
                             must be missing something - (boxley) - (9) - May 11, 2006, 06:26:53 PM EDT
                                 Yes, you must :-) - (ben_tilly) - (8) - May 11, 2006, 07:02:46 PM EDT
                                     And then you can have NC's 12th Congressional district. - (a6l6e6x) - (1) - May 11, 2006, 08:50:10 PM EDT
                                         True dat, but... - (ben_tilly) - May 11, 2006, 09:29:47 PM EDT
                                     doesnt work that way - (boxley) - (5) - May 11, 2006, 09:06:10 PM EDT
                                         How many "at large" votes does each person have? - (ben_tilly) - (3) - May 11, 2006, 09:28:23 PM EDT
                                             if you have 2 at large seats ya have one vote for both seats - (boxley) - (2) - May 12, 2006, 08:29:52 AM EDT
                                                 One vote per seat works IF - (ben_tilly) - (1) - May 12, 2006, 12:00:35 PM EDT
                                                     You OBVIOUSLY don't live in Chicago.... -NT - (jb4) - May 12, 2006, 12:07:21 PM EDT
                                         Problem is *not enough* at -large seats - (drewk) - May 12, 2006, 08:48:40 AM EDT
                         Which is why I don't both house to be that way - (JayMehaffey) - (1) - May 11, 2006, 09:28:47 PM EDT
                             Right now neither house has proportional distribution -NT - (ben_tilly) - May 11, 2006, 09:31:49 PM EDT
         Looks less likely it'll happen this year. - (Another Scott) - May 13, 2006, 08:20:19 AM EDT
