Voting for Good Character
When the TDG executive puts out its notice of the TDG election, it reminds voters to vote for "good character."
Each voter should think about that criteria, then cast a vote in that direction.

On #voting: A single #vote has decided who will represent the people of #Terrebonne, Quebec, in #Canada 's House of Commons. 23,352 voted for one person, 23,352 for another, a further 14,415 for other candidates or invalid.
Two lessons: Your vote can make a difference in an #election. And First-Past-The-Post sucks. So many vote(r)s are #frustrated. We need to upgrade to #ProportionalRepresentation

'The boundaries are not decided by political leaders or their parties. They do have input, as does any Canadian who wants to comment on proposed changes. But the independent panel makes the decision.
It's designed to be non-partisan and not connected to the election cycle, so it's hard to manipulate it in favour of the governing party.' #voting #cdnpoli

Arizona’s Elections Procedures Manual states that supervisors have no discretion when certifying results — or at least, that’s how it’s always been interpreted. @TucsonSentinel reports on a court ruling that threw out that section of the manual, and that may now shake up pending criminal charges for conspiracy against an election supervisor who delayed certification of Cochise County’s 2022 midterm results. “Ambiguity in election certification laws is a problem in several swing states across the country,” writes Jen Fifield.

Australia voted last week for a Labor majority — and when we say “Australia voted,” we mean that. Before the election, @taniel of @bolts talked to politics professor Judith Brett about the country’s compulsory voting law — its history, how it’s evolved, and whether it leads to better engagement as well as turnout. “Look, the fines that one pays are pretty minimal; you get a letter, and you’ve got to give a reason why you didn’t vote,” says Brett. “I don’t think the fine is the reason people vote. I think they vote because everybody votes. It’s the political culture around voting … What we know from research is, if you don’t have compulsory voting, the people least likely to vote are poorer people, and people from new migrant groups, and often the young. I think it means that there’s more of an egalitarian pressure on our politicians, and I think we end up with more egalitarian policies.”

Voters in 2025 midterm polls reminded to choose candidates their kids can emulate
Ok, so it looks like the 'Wedge' has been achieved, at least in the Senate level of government 
So, we have a system here in Australia where:
- The first highest tally gets the most seats
- The second highest tally gets the second highest seats
- The third highest tally gets NO seats
- The fourth highest tally gets the third highest seats
