Google “Cumulative Voting” and tell me what you come up with.

EVERYBODY in this instance gets six votes to distribute as they wish amongst x Number of candidates for a certain office. You can even cast more than one of the six votes you get for an individual. Cast them all for one person, cast two votes each for three people, cast one vote for six individuals.

Point is - it is not voter fraud. What makes you think it is fraud?

If everyone gets 6 votes, its fair - in this case, only one ethnic/racial group benefits ...

Its discrimination ...

For this reason:

Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, which asserts a principle that the majority should have the right to make all decisions, states, "A minority group, by coordinating its effort in voting for only one candidate who is a member of the group, may be able to secure the election of that candidate as a minority of the board. However, this method of voting, which permits a member to transfer votes, must be viewed with reservation since it violates a fundamental principle of parliamentary law ." (Emphasis mine)
