And voters nominate X I think 10 is the right number. Each would have a yes or no vote. Nays votes would be subtracted from yeas and 100 top net yeas would be elected. Voters can allocate yea and nay any way they want. Given the current crop I would probably have 4 yeas and 6 nays but I suspect the nays would become rare in the future.

If each citizen got to nominate <b>three</b> senators, then the ones who win would likely be clustered around a smaller set of nebulous positions or ideologies. These clusters would form the proportional representation that you seek, but without giving any one person more than an equal share of the vote.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712321480769696804noreply@blogger.com
