This all began with this blog post proposing a government simulation of sorts. We went through an entire election cycle with a debate and election, and the simulation has since grown to its own page where we will post everything from now on.

Currently there actually is a piece of legislation being considered to reform the voting system, but to briefly explain the one used upto this point, we voted on a presidental nominee, and for senators using a mixed member proportional system, meaning that people place votes for senator, and also for their favorite political party. The number of seats is doubled, with the vote filling the first half, while the favorite political party to add seats to the second half until each unrepresented party is over represented.
