The Manner and Mode in which members of the House of Representatives are elected (Summary)-

The winner of the most precincts throughout the congressional district should be declared the winner of the election. A precinct should be won by the candidate who receives the most popular votes in that precinct.

If there is a tie, then the tying candidate who receives the highest number of popular votes in that congressional district should be declared the winner.

No candidate needs to win majority of precincts in a congressional district in order to win the election for this office. No candidate also needs to win the majority of votes in a precinct in order to obtain the electoral vote that has been allocated to a precinct. The reasoning for this is this position is legislative and not administrative. Any position closer to the People requires less of a mandate than an executive position. The people who make law have to be more directly connected to the People. The people who execute and administer the law have to instead be more insulated from the People.

Cliff Notes Version: A candidate for this lower federal house seat should have to win the popular vote in a precinct in order to win the precinct and get its electoral vote. The candidate who wins the most precincts should win the election.

If there is a tie amongst the candidates who won the most precincts, then the candidate who receives the highest number of popular votes in the entire congressional district should win the election.

No candidate needs to win the majority of precincts to win the election. No candidate needs to receive the majority of votes in a precinct to win the precinct. This is because this position is legislative and not executive.
