And, in my opinion, they should not have mentioned "districts", as that was something that someone came up with, at a later time, to benefit a specific individual, rather than the common good.  If you ask me, giving weight to one highly populated area, over the rest of the territory, is just un-democratic.  Popular vote should always rule, electoral should be thrown out, at all levels.
