I think it's pretty rediculous that the CDU could lose a seat by getting more votes. I still don't fully understand how that could happen, but you, PMOW (Lewis) seem to know what you're talking about. Could you or someone else perhaps explain in more detail how it would work out that the CDU has less seats nationwide if it gets 41K votes in Dresden I than if it gets 39K votes there. Also, would the CDU get less seats with 41K votes than with 39K votes regardless of whether or not it wins the direct seat? (In other words, will it have x seats if it doesn't win the direct seat and gets only 39K votes or fewer, x - 1 seats if it gets 41K votes or more but doesn't win the direct seat, x + 1 seats if it gets 39K votes or fewer but wins the direct seat, and x votes if it gets 41K votes or more and wins the direct seat?) I realize the answer may be more complicated than even that, given the possibility that the vote in Dresden I could change the "rounded" (based on the way partial proportional mandates are rounded) proportional tally, but if someone could give it there best shot at explaining all this I would appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Kevin Lamoreau
