Dear participants,

I want to add that the number of wasted votes cannot
be reduced by using DEMOREP's proxy voting. The reason:
Voters are only interested in the real voting power
("Banzhaf Index") and not in the nominal voting power
of the candidates. Thus a vote that increases the
nominal voting power without increasing the real voting
power of a candidate is wasted.
