Mount Royal MP Irwin Cotler is vowing to fight a proposed electoral boundary change that would split the Jewish Community Campus in half, and shift a number of other Jewish institutions to the neighbouring Outremont riding.
Mount Royal, the federal riding with the highest proportion of Jewish voters in the country, would lose the area bounded by Côte Ste.
Mount Royal would also lose a section of the former Town of Mount Royal north of Morrison Avenue, as far as the Metropolitain Boulevard to the Saint Laurent-Cartierville riding.

 Insurgency in Nepal -- Thomas A. Marks
Though half a dozen districts were designated, with Gorkha as the pilot project, and RNA battalions deployed in area domination patrols, the civilian input was limited to selection of the projects by local Government bodies.
The entire royal family was shot and killed by the elder son, angered at his inability to secure parental consent to marry the woman of his choice.
Fieldwork in the important district of Gorkha (from which the term ‘Gurkha’ is derived) revealed, as per police statistics for the period November 2001-March 2002, that fully 40 per cent of those arrested were teachers (79 of 196).

 thetyee.ca Not All Ridings Created Equal (in Population)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
British Columbia’s 79 electoral districts are supposed to be ‘equal’ in terms of population, but there are significant differences between ridings, and between regions.
The electoral boundaries for the 2001 and 2005 general elections were determined using population figures from the 1996 Canada census.
As a result, despite the constitutional requirement that British Columbia’s electoral districts be "equal" in population, the biggest riding in the 2001 general election — North Island, with 57,050 residents — was nearly twice the size of the smallest — Peace River South, at 30,950.

 WHAT ARE THEY ALL DOING, ANYWAY? an historical analysis of the Electoral College
Each Elector would choose two men: more than likely, an Elector's first vote would be for a leading citizen of his own State but he could not cast his second vote for someone from his own State- so he would have to vote for, say, someone prominent in his region of the country.
As of 6 September 1787, then, the Electoral College as an institution was firmly ensconced in the Constitution and was included in the final draft of the document that was approved by the Constitutional Convention on 17 September 1787 and then sent on to the States for ratification.
The Electoral Commission of 1876/1877 was clearly a failure in the sense that it was obviously overtly partisan, but it was a success in that it had provided a method of avoiding a messier consequence of the dispute within the Electoral College.

 Third Parties in America by Steven J. Rosenstone, Roy L. Behr, Edward H. Lazarus
The Electoral College tallies the number of times each candidate wins one of the fifty-one single-member-district plurality contests held in the fifty states and the District of Columbia, weighting each outcome by the state's electoral votes.
The Electoral College system is particularly harsh in its discrimination against nationally based third parties that fall short of a popular vote plurality in every state.
In every presidential election, a portion of the electorate makes their voting decision on the basis, not of issues or parties, but on who the candidates are.

With the Royal case, NVRI began to bring wealth primary challenges before state courts, which are the ultimate arbiters of the meaning of state constitutions.
Unfortunately, the North Carolina courts denied the Royal plaintiffs the opportunity to prove that access to significant wealth is a prerequisite to running for office.
In each of these federal cases, the district courts dismissed the wealth primary lawsuits before plaintiffs were allowed to present evidence on their claims.

At his residence of Mount Vernon, in March, 1785, the first idea was started of a revisal of the articles of confederation, by an organization of means differing from that of a compact between the state Legislatures and their own delegates in Congress.
Yet, as peace was of all external blessings, that of which our country at that juncture most needed the continuance, it was a dictate of prudence to take no hasty public step which might commit the honor of the country and complicate the entanglement from which she was to be extricated.

 Brooklyn Law School: Students
At first report, the massacre of many members of the royal family was blamed on the Crown Prince Dipendra, who allegedly committed the gruesome acts in frustration over his parents’ disapproval of his fiancée or bride.
While the deaths of so many members of the royal family were devastating to the majority of the Nepali populace, they were by no means an anomaly in Nepal’s political history, modern or ancient.
In actuality, however, the tragedy of June 2001 is a vivid reminder of the inherent instability in any country plagued by massive un- and under-employment, staggeringly high levels of poverty, appallingly low rates of access to health care and rampant discrimination against many of its residents based on immutable characteristics and historical relations.

Hariri’s vision of recovery remains one of reckless and unbounded borrowing, one in which empty promises are used to fool the public, and where the rich, the well-connected and the powerful profit from ‘reform’, while the poor suffer the dislocations of economic restructuring.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rumania
To oppose these attempts the Porte ceased to appoint native Rumanian nobles to the vaivodeship as previously, appointing Greeks — especially from the Fanar district in Constantinople, who were able to offer larger sums for their appointment than the boyars; the princely dignity was thus in the strictest sense of the word leased.
To the senate belong the adult princes of the royal house, the eight bishops of the Orthodox Church, one representative of each of the two national universities, and 110 members elected by two electoral colleges; the house of representatives consists of 183 members elected by adult Rumanians paying taxes organized into 3 electoral colleges.
The choice of bishops is vested in an electoral body composed of the eight bishops, the titular archpriests, and all the Orthodox representatives and senators; the election is by secret ballot.
