And the decline in turnout is finally reversed.

[jimrtex]

Low turnout, Dem dominance among voters, and partisan voting made this one pretty dull...of the just three Republicans to advance to the next round, two were in all-Republican groups (and one of them won with the votes of all Lefties against all Righties), and the third only won due to a split opposition and a die roll.
Can we please have some more Republicans voting in the next round? It'll be full of Floridans.

How about in the next round(s) requiring a minimum number of votes for the minority party in each bracket.  For example, if there are N of the minority party, then [N/2]+1  votes.   Let's say that you use the same brackets, and have 8, 1 on 1 matchups in each.  So far the results have been:
Bracket 1: 13/3; Bracket 2: 10/6; Bracket 3: 12/4; Bracket 4: 13/3.

Voters would have to for a minimum of 2, 4, 3, and 2 Republicans in the 4 brackets, respectively.

Of any region's Reps, I am most unfamiliar with these, especially all those new ones from Texas.  I researched Reps' stands on issues on their websites when I was unsure who they were, which was quite often, and so each of the decisions I made was informed.
