THE GREEN PARTY
MALAPPORTIONMENT PENALTY INITIATIVE (MAP)
The Malapportionment Penalty MAP initiative is to "Democratize
the Electoral College" by enforcement of "the right to vote"
Reconstruction amendment (Amend. XIV§2 ) that mandates a state's
proportional allocation of presidential electors based on the popular
vote split or for the state to suffer a "Reduction of Representation"
in the electoral college / members to congress pursuant to
(2USC§6) .
Collection of articles, stories, publications, notes, reports,
tables,etc.

Section 2 of the
Fourteenth
Amendment allows for a state's representation in the House of
Representatives to be reduced to the extent that state
unconstitutionally denies people the right to vote.

Title
two United States Code
Section 6 imposes a de jure
mandate for the reduction of a state's representatives to Congress (and
thus its Electoral College membership) should the right to vote at any
election "named in the amendment to the Constitution, article 14,
section 2" be denied or abridged.

A
PROCLAMATION OF THE DC STATEHOOD GREEN PARTY TO REDRESS NATIONAL STATE
INITIATIVES TO INSTITUTIONALIZE "MINORITY VOTE DILUTION" WHETHER
RACIAL, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, OR BY THIRD PARTY AFFILIATIONS, BY THE
ENACTMENT OF VOTER ID LAWS AND "WINNER-TAKE-ALL" POLITICS.
Winner-Take-All
Systems
“Winner-take-all” is a term used to describe
single member district and at large election systems that award seats
to the highest vote getters without ensuring fair representation for
minority groups. In the United States, these are typically
single-member district schemes or at-large, block-voting systems. Under
winner-take-all rules, a slim majority of voters can control 100% of
seats, leaving everyone else effectively without representation.
Winner-take-all systems are an anachronism in the modern world, as
nearly every emerging democracy has rejected their use. They were
introduced to America by the British during the colonial era, and are
virtually unknown in other developed countries. Their failings lie at
the root of many of our current political problems.

At-large
voting denies voters an equally effective vote. At-large voting always
operates to "minimize or cancel out the voting strength of racial or
political elements of the voting population"[Fortson v. Dorsey, 379 U.S. 433,
439 (1965)] . At-large voting clearly
operates to suppress the
representation of minority groups, whether racial, economic, political,
or otherwise.

"Winner-take-all"
is a perverse form of political gerrymandering of the franchise
by race and/or party affiliation.
"Winner-Take-All" is structurally
anti-majoritarian, institutionally racially bias, and
concedes over half of the Presidential Electors needed to select the
President of the United States of America to the former 11 states that
formed the Confederate States of America. "Winner-Take-All" is
institutionally racially bias because when the Southern states go red
in Presidential Elections it only counts the nearly 27% of general
election white votes cast in the former Confederate States, while
disregarding the near 46% of the general election black votes cast in
those states. "Winner-Take-All" is constitutionally deficient because
it exposes the states to a reduction in state representatives pursuant
to the mal-apportionment penalty of the Second section of the
fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution for an abridgment of a
citizens "right to vote".
