Gridlock! No Contest Elections 2004

From the report:
"America's winner-take-all, two-party system together with the development of strongly Democratic or strongly Republican legislative districts over most of our nation and state have resulted in situations in which: a) minority party voters see little point in bothering to go to the polls; and b) elected officials see little point in responding to the concerns of their minority constituents. FairVote Minnesota's latest study, Gridlock! persuasively demonstrates how the current system subverts true democracy and suggests common-sense ways by which the problem can be effectively addressed."
