I'd like to conclude with some background information about this idea of "balanced voting". In 2012 I wrote two articles on this subject for OpEdNews, Let's Have More Political Parties and Should Nader have Won the 2000 Election in Florida?
Since then I have given the subject additional thought and recently I wrote a fairly extended article on the subject, probably too long to publish here as a single article. Instead, I plan to release a series of articles to present the major ideas of that much longer article and this current article is the first of that series of articles.
