Somebody already voted for one person. Seriously.

I have no idea who did it - but my bet is on an American. We pride ourselves on "one man - one vote".

Hey!

FM calls them out on it.

FM is now losing.

Oh no! I think someone thinks I was trying to insult women. "One man One Vote" is an expression from a U.S. Supreme Court case - not something that I made up:

In what case did the US Supreme Court establish the principle of 'one-man-one-vote'?

Answer:

Reynolds v. Sims, 377 US 533 (1964)

The "one man, one vote" rule (also called "one person, one vote") derives from the US Supreme Court ruling in Reynolds v. Sims, 377 US 533 (1964) that held state political districts of unequal size resulted in under-representation of some citizens' interests and over-representation of others'. This was considered "unrepublican," per Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution, and also unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. In order to meet constitutional standards, districts had to be reapportioned so each had approximately equal population.

Please, don't even get me started on the US voting system.

Please, don't even get me started on the US voting system.

Not to worry, with our low voter turnout - we hardly even have anyone in the U.S. started on the U.S. voting system.....

I'm in 10th Grade AP (Advanced Placement) US History,
And I've never heard of that case in particular.

APUSH won't likely teach you about the history of the court. That'd be AP Gov.

[Autumnwolf17]

AP.

That is true, 9th Grade I took LSN Gov., (Local State National)
And we took essays on a lot of court cases,
A couple off the top of my head are,
McCullough v. Maryland
Dredd Scott v. Sandford
Marbury v. Madison
Brown v. Board of Ed.
New Jersey v. T.L.O
