Democracy In Election Process

Some cities in America have a system of electing their councils by both, at-large and by district, which is better than entirely at-large.  With an at-large system, basically, the same portion of the electorate elects the entire council, and thereby differences in ideology, if any, are nominal, and sectionalism, ironically, is more likely; it is a kind of reverse gerrymandering with the same outcome as gerrymandering. To change the system to "district only" or a "combination," a town citizen(s) would, generally, have to petition to get it on the ballot.

This blog is no longer primarily called "America Commons Legal Service," but now Democracy in Election Process, run by Mark Greene.  This organization enrolls citizens for voter registration, informs them about civic affairs, and helps them with rudimentary legal and governmental matters.  Democracy in Election Process either gives service on a voluntary basis or charges a nominal price for services.  America Commons Legal Service will remain as a secondary name since there is still a legal services component to our newly named organization.  Please, contact Mark Greene at Mark@partyofcommons.com if you would like to use this service, in which case, please, help out by putting the term "Democracy service" in the subject heading.  Thank you.
