re: #244 brookly red

I trust your judgement but if it did not change the outcome then what was the point? be honest.

It probably did change the outcome, and it sounds as though the idea was to allow more candidates from heavily Latino areas of the burb to take seats. Read the article on cumulative voting, I understand the basic concept, but it’s more math than I can explain coherently.

However, the outcome was based on equal rights between all voters in the election. Each voter is still being treated equally, they’re just being given a different way of choosing candidates they prefer.
