Proposed MMP ballot initiative in Colorado

[DEMOREP1]

Having both single member district winners and add-on winners is not
necessary.

Use just multi-member districts only.  There is no need for a reapportionment
commission if each district has at least 5 members. Each district can be
composed of one or more of the smallest political subdivisions or part of one
political subdivision and be as square as possible (which means rectangular,
in reality).

Use equal nominating petitions in each district for ballot access (i.e. a
percentage of the voters in each district at the last election).  

Each independent who gets votes equal to or greater than total district votes
/ district seats (TDV/DS) would be elected.

Each party that gets votes (i.e. all candidates of such party) equal to or
greater than total votes in all districts /total seats in all districts
(TV/TS) would elect one or more legislators.  (i.e. Hare quotas).

Transfer surplus votes repeatedly from the independent or party with the
largest surplus.

The lowest independent or party not getting such minimums would repeatedly
lose with the votes for a loser being transferred to a remaining candidate.

A party would get seats equal to 
Total Seats x Total Party Votes / Total Votes (using highest remainders)   (TS
x TPV/ TV)

The party winners would be the party's candidates getting the most votes in
all districts.

I again object to having vacancies filled using the original election results.
Strong incumbents and a few yahoo extremist idiots may run at the same time.
If a strong incumbent dies, etc. then an idiot would fill the vacancy.  

Thus, have a party vacancy be filled by the party and an independent vacancy
be filled by the other independents or by the entire legislative body (or have
the candidates give a list of candidates to replace themselves as candidates
or incumbents if they die, etc.).

I again note the very simple proxy method of having district winners have a
voting power equal to the number of votes they each receive-- no quotas, no
surpluses, no fractions.
