Editing Lani Guinier (section)

===Alternative voting systems===
In her publications, Guinier suggested various strategies for strengthening minority groups' voting power, and rectifying what she characterized as an unfair [[voting system]], not just for racial minorities, but for all numerical minority groups, including [[fundamentalist Christians]], the [[Amish]], or, in states such as Alabama, [[United States Democratic Party|Democrats]]. Guinier also stated that she did not advocate for any single procedural rule, but rather that all alternatives should be considered in the context of litigation ''"after'' the court finds a legal violation."<ref>(1994:14)</ref>

Some of the ideas she considered are:
*[[cumulative voting]], a system in which each voter has "the same number of votes as there are seats or options to vote for, and they can then distribute their votes in any combination to reflect their preferences"—a system often used on corporate boards in 30 states, as well as by school boards and county commissions
*multi-member "superdistricts," a strategy that "modifies winner-take-all majority rule to require that something more than a bare majority of voters must approve or concur before action is taken."

Guinier's idea of [[cumulative voting]] was taken up by [[Roslyn Fuller]] as a potential way of protecting minority rights without compromising [[One Man, One Vote]] principles.<ref>{{cite book |last=Fuller |first=Roslyn |title=Beasts and Gods: How Democracy Changed its Meaning and Lost its Purpose|date=November 15, 2015 |publisher=Zed Books |isbn=9781783605422}}</ref>
