[[Warren D. Smith]] later defined a cardinal method based on Monroe's concept.<ref name="RangeVoting.org">{{cite web | title=Multiwinner election method based on optimum constrained-degree-subgraph problem | website=RangeVoting.org | url=https://rangevoting.org/MonroeMW.html | access-date=2020-02-09 |date=February 2010 |last=Smith |first=Warren D.}}</ref>
 
This method maximizes total representation instead of minimizing misrepresentation, with each elected candidate the representative of an equal number of voters, and the degree to which a voter is represented by atheir candidate is simply that voter's rating of the candidate. In the single-winner case, this Monroe method reduces to either [[Range voting]] or [[Approval voting]] depending on the ballot format.
 
Following this work a sequential Cardinal method, [[Sequential Monroe voting]], was later invented to simplify this methodology but keep the key requirements.
