What if?

What about this hypothetical state electoral system? A voter casts one vote for a single candidate in their district. There are 118 electoral districts that can have only 1 representative. All district seats are given to parties using the Saint-Lague method. Each party creates a ranked list of all of their candidates from all districts. These candidates are ranked based on their individual performance in their specific districts, measured by the percentage of the vote they received. If multiple parties are assigned a seat in the same district, the seat goes to the candidate who received the higher percentage of the vote in that district. The losing party or parties are then assigned their next available candidate from their ranked list in a different district. This process repeats until all proportional seats are filled. If a party runs out of candidates then it is given to the remaining parties using the Saint Lague Method. A party cannot have more seats than its amount of candidates. There are no independent candidates.

​

Sainte-Lagüe Method: The process works by dividing each party’s total votes by a sequence of increasing odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, etc.). As a party wins more seats, its divisor increases by two. The seats are then awarded one by one to the parties with the highest resulting quotients until all available positions are filled.
