I am administering this poll in order to give the Atlas Government & Senate, when we reconstitute, a gauge of public opinion on reform. Please also post your opinion in discussion.

Absolutely.  But this is really something we should discuss in the Senate.

Yes...keep the Senate seats the way they are (except for redistricting of course).

I wouldn't be opposed to a mixed geographic/proportional representation like they use in Germany, but for the sake of stability, I say keep what's in the Constitution.

Personally, I prefer proportional elections. But as there never was any support for that idea, I stopped promoting it ages ago. So, we'll most likely keep the regions.
I'm all in favor of scrapping the separate regions and districts thing, though.

I totally agreed with PR in the case of real life.  But in the case of fantasy elections, it wouldn't be very much fun....you wouldn't have all the different candidates and campaigns, and since we know everyone's party affiliation, the results would be extremely predictable.  

It doesn't really matter who WINS the fantasy elections.  We should create a process that is the most fun and gets the most people involved.
