> The fairest thing to do would be to eliminate districts and allow a voter to identify which candidate(s) they support There's a very old assumption that local elections (i.e. within a district) are the fairest way for the interests of the people to be represented. Politics ought to be as decentralized as possible - all the arguments, discussions, and decisions about "what we want" should take place locally when electing a representative. While your proposal may help governments to more accurately represent the will of the people en masse or in aggregate, I suspect it would only further contribute to a sense of division, especially in a local sense.
