[EM] A question in classroom creation

[Stephane Rouillon]

I read something similar when promoting non-geographical districts on fair vote

canada's billboard.  The main point of the author (Daniel if I remember) was
that
if ecologist were allowed to regroup they would be able to gather enough
support
and get some representation.

Although this comes from a good intent, it can easily be exploited by organized
groups.
If the systems allows voters to choose their district but still is not a
proportional system,
any political group will try to get just above half of the voters of any
district. So the fastest
to get registered in some districts and the more able to count their supporters
will benefit
of such a system. Losers will be the last voters to register or the randomly
assigned at the
end of the process to fill all districts or precincts equally...

Good target, bad mean.
Steph.
