Those votes are counted equally. Everybody gets the same number of votes and each person's votes count as much as anyone else's votes.
Bruce,
you still arent getting the concept..
I will repost the quote from the 3rd post in this thread:
by BlakeR, The problem is that the are doing this to ensure a hispanic is elected. There is a population breakdown of 50% white and 50% hispanic. Of the 12 people running 10 are white and 2 are hispanic. Assuming the white voters split their 6 votes amongst the white candidates and the hispanic voters split their 6 votes among the 2 hispanic candiates, a hispanic candiate is likely to garner 5 times as many votes than any given white candidate. A hispanic voter who may have had a choice between two white candidates in his particular district is now encouraged to vote for a hispanic candidate who does not even represent him. This is social engineering, not fair voting.
each person's votes do NOT count as much as anyone else's votes...
not if some people give ALL their 6 votes to one or two canidates..and others spread their votes among more candidates..
In this case, some people's votes count MORE than others peoples votes..which is the whole point of this scam..
if it were true that " each person's votes counts as much as anyone else's votes." then why not keep if one vote per person then? why the need for 6 votes per person?
the whole point of 6 votes per person is to engineer the election specifically so a Hispanic person gets elected..and it worked..
Why not keep it one vote per person? if they are really interested in "each person's vote counts as much as anyone else's vote"?? wouldnt one vote per person be the ideal way to ensure that each person's vote counts as much as anyone else's vote?
but thats not what they want..
there is a specific reason for 6 votes per person..to rig the election..
and it worked exactly as planned..
its a scam, its "gaming the system" pure and simple..
its just wrong..
replace the wording:
The problem is that the are doing this to ensure a White person is elected. There is a population breakdown of 50% white and 50% hispanic. Of the 12 people running 10 are hispanic and 2 are white. Hispanic people are always elected in this district..a white person has never won under the "one person, one vote" system..Assuming the hispanic voters split their 6 votes amongst the hispanic candidates and the white voters split their 6 votes among the 2 white candiates, a white candiate is likely to garner 5 times as many votes than any given hispanic candidate.
ensuring a white person will be elected..and this time, it worked..a white person WAS elected, for the first time. even though the white canidate has less *indiviual* people voting for him..he had more votes, by less people, because of the 6 votes per person system.
the majority was NOT represented..
is it still fair now??
of course not..
if it was actually done that way, if white conservatives were trying to rig the election that way to ensure they got more votes, you would see huge protest marches and headline news storys every day of the week for a month! but as long as minorities and liberals are the ones doing it, it just slides right by..
this is why its pure hypocrisy..and why its flat-out wrong..
