How it works

Proportional Representation with a Touch of Competition

The Hamilton Method splits up electors by first giving each party the whole number of reps they should get based on the votes they received. Then, any leftover seats go to the party or parties with the largest remainder.

The Hamilton Method

A decentralized election system will prevent national populist rhetoric.

With thousands of possible electors, political influence is dispersed throughout the country. No elector candidate will wield concentrated power on the national stage. Money in politics, media influence, and foreign intelligence services will have little influence on the electoral process.

Key Points of the Hamilton Method:

• Elections are local within each state

• The national election is eliminated

• Populism and tyranny are ineffective

• Money is still used for campaigning, but will be decentralized

• Thousands of potential electors prevent influence by foreign intelligence services as well as traditional media and social media
