If candidates can appear lots of polling stations (i.e. 5 times as many as are needed for a quota), then there should be reasonable overlap no matter what the party leadership wants. Maybe the compromise that they must pick a boundary curve rather than just indicate which polling stations is reasonable. Also, the logistics for this are pretty complex, so it isn't likely to be implemented. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
