Maybe both the City of Lewisville and LISD ought to look into this. Both are at large and both result is areas not being represented in the city and district. From http://www.iafflocal975.org/items/Troudini_AJPS.pdf Single-Member Districts: An Institutional Solution? One of the most persistent findings by scholars of urban politics is that single-member district elections increase descriptive representation of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups on city councils. |
