delegation from one large county to decide to even use
the four-to-one ratio, to have single-member districts
a delegation from another district, to decide for the slot
system, and another delegation to prefer a multi-member
system with residence districts and another a multi-member
system with winner take all.
DELEGATE GILCHRIST: Of course, the legislature
is going to have to determine What this will be. You
just participated in one in which you let the legislature
have free reign as to anything they wanted to do with
it, and this is more restrictive than that.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Hanson.
DELEGATE HANSON: Thank you, sir.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Beatrice Miller.
DELEGATE B. MILLER: Delegate Gilchrist, you
indicated in answer to a question of Delegate Sollins
that it was possible, though not probable, that all
counties could be represented under your plan, using the
same system. If the most unfortunate circumstance were
to happen, how many counties could be unrepresented under
that plan?
