Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At-large judicial elections are typically winner-take-all, which can result in a lack of representation for minority groups. In fact, at-large elections have been criticized for diluting the voting power of minority groups and making it more difficult for them to elect candidates of their choice. Single-member district systems have been shown to be more effective at increasing the representation of minority groups in the judiciary.
