@ProfNickStephan strictly speaking you don't *ever* "need" a measure. the point is that, of the measures, the mean-median gap is the one that approximates majoritarianism, and i honestly don't see how there's any room to disagree with that — PolitiTweet.org

@ProfNickStephan and given that you want an easily enforced legislation with a clear standard, a mean-median based standard would pretty clearly be the way to go here — PolitiTweet.org

@ProfNickStephan you can always 'just look at the vote share,' but the thing you'd be doing with that information is... judging whether the seats that will decide control (median) are about as competitive as the state (mean), and i don't see what's controversial about that — PolitiTweet.org
