Using donation amount vs. using donation proportion #36

Open mcs2017 opened 5 years ago

Thank you very much for presenting such an interesting topic! I wonder if you have considered using the proportion of donations provided by one donator in the total amount a legislator raised stead of using the absolute amount of donations. It comes to me because I realized that the total amount of donations the legislators raised differ.

Word. This probably only relevant if aligning with voters would provoke a contradiction (which is a really interesting case to deep dive into!)
