Every 2 years 1/3 of our states each elect a Senator. Every 2 years each Congressional district (presently 435) elects a member of Congress (more comparable with MPs). Thus about 450 races every 2 years, controlled by individual states. Can choose whether to avoid years with Presidential elections, but they do not HAVE to use the same methods. Creating a district from all or part of a state for electing multiple members of Congress? Doable by a state, but permissibility seems to be a national question. Of course each state has other races every year. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] people.clarityconnect.com/webpages3/davek Dave Ketchum 108 Halstead Ave, Owego, NY 13827-1708 607-687-5026 Do to no one what you would not want done to you.
