Maybe you could play around with the quota. For example, the Droop quota could be used for sitting representatives and the Hare quota for everyone else. Staggering of elections, so that there isn't a single election day, may or may not be a good thing. Would it mean that the government is always in campaign mode or would it never be in campaign mode. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
