Information About

General Ticket




While the framers of the United States Constitution probably intended members of the House of Representatives to be elected from geographically defined single member districts, the Constitution did not so specify, and for convenience or in order to assure majority control many states adopted this method. In doing so it assured that a group that might be a majority in only a portion of the state would be always out voted by the larger majority throughout the state.
