@tc_morekindness well it's not about what *should be,* but about what *is.*

It's not about my opinion about how elections should be run. Regardless of what I think about it, the state doesn't do a European style PR system.

Of course people could push to change that, but for now it's not how the election system works.

For better or worse, the state votes by district, and given that the state votes by district instead of proportional voting, the proportional voting result doesn't enter into the process.

Whether I like a rule or not, it is the rule.
