	Center for Voting and Democracy
		In monopoly politics states like Massachusetts and Nebraska, only one party won representation in their U.S. House delegation, as if there were no other political parties in the state.
		Thus, the U.S. House was very much a status quo election, with Republicans increasing their majority by only a few seats even though they beat the Democrats by 6% in the national two-party vote.
		Traditionally accomplished by drawing a "minority opportunity" district with enough minorities to elect their candidate of choice, the growing dispersion of racial minorities in much of the country is pointing the value of proportional representation systems in which minority voters of all sorts are more likely to be able to cast an effective vote.

	:: Suburbia :: :: "A costly mess" Doug Bereuter :: Staticfiends.com's Message Boards/Forums ::
		Representative Doug Bereuter, a 26-year member of the US House of Representatives from southeastern Nebraska, has sent a four-page letter to his constituents saying he has reconsidered his previous support for the US invasion of Iraq and concluded that the war was a disastrous mistake.
		Politically, Bereuter occupies a position in the center of the Republican congressional delegation—which means his politics would, 25 years ago, have been considered on the right-wing fringe of American politics.
		Bereuter was in line to get the chairmanship of the International Relations Committee in 2001, but he was passed over, under pressure from more strident right-wing Republicans in the House, tacitly backed by the White House, in favor of Henry Hyde, the Illinois congressman who presided over the impeachment proceedings against Clinton.

		At least three of the lawmakers who provided Bush with his narrow Senate margin of victory for the cuts in 2003 are raising alarms about the burden of federal debt and the costs imposed by the rest of the president's agenda, from revamping Social Security to rewriting the tax code.

	Electoral College
		But instead of a simple national vote, the Constitution requires the presidency to be decided by 51 separate elections in each state and the District of Columbia -- all but Nebraska and Maine winner-take-all -- with electoral votes allocated based on the size of each state's congressional delegation.
		Justification for the Electoral College is rooted "in racism and sexism," Amar says, noting no other political bodies (whether foreign nations or our own states and cities) think enough of the Electoral College system to use it for their elections.
		With a proportional system, a candidate with 55 percent of the popular vote in a state wins 55 percent of that state's electoral votes, but not all; if the second place finisher receives 45 percent of the popular vote, they win 45 percent of the electoral votes, instead of nothing.
