Alternative Choosing Of The Governor Electors and Vice-Governor Electors- Part Three

 

Alternative Choosing Of The Governor Electors and Vice-Governor Electors- Part Three

These electors are publicly voted on a direct popular vote basis by registered voters of each locality.

Every vice-gubernatorial elector who gets the highest number of popular votes in a locality will receive electoral votes as follows. The population of a locality as per the latest census is divided by 50,000 (Fifty Thousand) and then rounded up to the nearest whole value. After that each locality is allocated an additional two electoral votes since it is represented by two officeholders in the state legislature.

For example Bath County, Virginia has the population of 4307. So when its population figure is divided by 50,000 and rounded up to the nearest whole value, that figure is one. After the addition of two electoral votes, Bath County Virginia would have three electoral votes that its choice of elector would be able to cast for vice- governor. 

Another example is New York City, New York. Their population is 8.27 million. So when its population figure is divided by 50,000 and rounded up to the nearest whole value, that figure is 166. After the addition of two electoral votes, NY,NY would have 168 electoral votes that its choice of elector would be able to cast for vice- governor. 

The Vice-Governor's role and responsibility, as supposed President Of The State Senate, is supposed to be based on a land-based democratic model as his/her role and responsibilities are more insulated from

the constituency than that of the Governor.  Therefore its election must be based on the population-based democratic model as cross-verification is needed for the choosing of officeholders in the executive branch. 

Cliff Notes Version:The foregoing is another way of having the Vice-Governor electors chosen. All voters of a locality directly choose electors for this positions.

While all localities are represented by an elector, the more the populated the locality, the more electoral votes its elector has to cast in the choosing of  Vice-Governor.

Electoral votes are allocated as follows. As per the latest census, the population of a locality is divided by 50,000. Then that figure is rounded up to the nearest whole number. In addition, two other electoral votes are provided to each locality.
