Cumulative voting would scuttle political gerrymandering, and Congressional districts. Each state with cumulative voting would have its Constitutional representative seat allotment. After voting, candidates with the largest vote totals would win those open seats in a state. Each voters' number of votes would be equal to the number of seats then open. Voters could divide all their votes among any number of candidates. Or they could vote all their votes for just one candidate. Cumulative voting would finally and truly democratize American elections, and protect majority/minority interests.
