Example: Suppose 50 voters pick Party A, 11 voters pick B, and 10 voters pick each party from C to Z. Most quota-based ([[Largest remainder method|largest remainder method]]-based) methods would pick (A, C). Now, suppose the 50 A voters instead split into two groups of 25 for Party A1 and Party A2; most quota-based methods pick (A1, A2). So by evenly dividing their votes, Party A voters elect more of their preferred candidates. Note that one implication of this is that voters may not be able to choose who to vote for, since they may have to follow party leadership orders on which candidates to orchestrate the division of votes for.
