Gerrymandering in this example gave the Bad Guys one additional member - the Droop Quota gave the Bad Guys a second additional member. Random Selection Fractional Transfer is not the only way in which votes are transferred. Random Transfer is another way to transfer votes. With random the number of votes needed to be transferred will be picked at random from the total votes of a candidate with a surplus number of votes. I do not advocate random because it could give different results if we were to do the election over a second time.
Many people point to the City of Cambridge in Massachusetts as an example of election reform.
Since 1946 Cambridge has been using a proportional representation method to elect their city council and their school board. Two of these flaws are the use of Random Transfer instead of Fractional Transfer and the use of the Droop Quota instead of the Hare Quota. Cambridge still has a better overall system than any other city in the country, let them have a few flaws. These two flaws together or by themselves can cause one or two candidates to lose an election that they should have won. This in not a minor point it is very important to these candidates and to the people who voted for these candidates.
