| Message | Thank you for your support. As for the terminology "one person one vote", this comes from the language used to describe the Reynolds v. Sims supreme court case in another country known as the USA, on another planet, in the year 1964 of that country's reckoning, which ruled that legislative districts should be of roughly equal size. |
