    Removing the voice of people is wrong

    That’s single-candidate districts for you. Put 40 Dems and 40 Republicans and 20 Swing Voters into a district and you’re going to have a bare minimum of 40 unhappy voices.

    There are alternative methods for choosing elected representation. But they don’t play well with a country as committed to segregation, disenfranchisement, and power consolidation as the modern Americanized democratic system.
