IIRC in Rome people voting by social class (plebe, patrician, equestrian, something like that). > "Maybe there needs to be some thought given to organizing electoral representation around something other than geographical area." Various thought has been. I think "party lists" are one of them. Since computers have made calculations easier I'm in favor (for things like the House of Representatives) of electing multiple candidates per district, but weighting their power within the House by the number or proportion of votes they received. And maybe making a 5% cutoff to be elected to prevent too many representatives, or doing something with ranked choice voting.
