Seems odd that if you win by 0.001% that’s treated the same as if you win by 50%. “You barely won, here’s the same mandate as someone who won soundly”

Probably a bad idea, but there’s an idea in there that isn’t dumb.

    This is the exact opposite concept of a representative democracy. What we should be asking is that our representatives should be voting based upon their margin of victory. For example, if you win by one vote you need to REPRESENT your constituents 50/50.

    One of the major problems with politics is that those elected think they should vote based solely on their own opinion, which is not representative.
