D- Back to Mr. Davidson's example -- * 100 members are to be elected in 25 districts - 4 member districts. * 1000 voters per district - 25,000 total votes in election. * Droop Quota is 201 (1000/5 +1) [corrected] 51 Droop Quotas = 51 x 201 = 10,251 Extreme Case- The 51 Droop Quotas could be in 17 districts -- 17 x 603 (3 Droop Quotas) = 10,251. Zero votes in the other 8 districts. 10,521 x 100 percent/ 25,000 = 41.004 percent indirect minority rule. Result- the use of Droop and multi-member districts can result in a more sophisticated gerrymander and indirect minority rule.
