cumulative voting

Fortunately, there’s a readily available solution to address this: Congress could also enact what’s known as cumulative voting.

Cumulative voting could also help protect minority communities.

These communities, like partisan communities, can use cumulative voting to concentrate their support on such candidates.

And although it may sound grandiose, Congress can enact just such a multimember-district, cumulative voting model: The Constitution grants that the body “may at any time” enact voting regulations, something it has done occasionally, most prominently with the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

And cumulative voting already exists at the county level.
