== Tennessee example ==
:''main: [[Effects of different voting systems under similar circumstances]]''

Electoral reform advocates frequently use the "[[Tennessee example]]" to describe the effects of different voting systems under similar circumstances. The example is convenient because of the way that Tennessee was settled. A very long time ago, Knoxville was the territorial capitol of Tennessee, and then disputes arouse over the years about where the capitol should end up. Nashville was eventually chosen, but over time, Memphis became a larger city.
