2020, the election campaigns have begun

[Labster]

We changed the voting method in our city recently. The city got sued for not having enough minority representation with at-large elections (where the whole city elects 3 candidates), so I tried to ask for Single Transferrable Vote. I was told that the only legal method to produce more minority representation is district voting, first-past-the-post. Of course this is completely nuts as STV ensures majority rule and minority representation, while district plurality vote ensures... nothing. But it's the law!

It's awfully funny how the law gets chosen to protect entrenched interests even while it's working to protect underrepresented minorities.
