Population-Based Democracy Vs. Area-Based Democracy- (Part Fourteen) The Election Of State Senator - 2nd Revised Version

 

Please read this 2nd revised version of how State Senators should be chosen in order to uphold the principles of a Representative Democracy. It is fundamentally different than its earlier post.

Population-Based Democracy Vs. Area-Based Democracy-(Part Ten) The Election Of State Senator

Every locality(city or county) must be represented by a state senator.

Registered citizen voters in each ward/district of a locality(city or county) publicly cast their ballots for a state senate candidate. The candidate for state senate who receives the highest number of popular votes in a ward/district wins that ward/district.

The state senate candidates who wins the highest number of wards/districts in a locality wins the state senate race.

If there is a tie in the number of wards/districts won by candidates in a locality (city or county), the following measure should apply. The candidate, tying or not, who through popular voting won the highest number of precincts in that locality (city or county) wins that state senate seat.

If there is a tie in the number of precincts won by the candidates, the candidate, out of the tying candidates, who is approved by the locality legislature becomes the state senator-elect or remains as state senator. 

Cliff Notes Version- State senators are selected based on an Area-Based Democratic Model. Electoral votes are based on that model.

The candidate who wins the highest number of wards/districts wins that state senate seat. If there is a tie, the following measure should apply. The candidate, out of all the candidates, who wins the highest number of precincts wins that state senate seat.

If there is still a tie,then one of the tying candidates who is approved by the locality legislature is declared either the new or remaining state senator.
