Which type of election system has led to an increase in diversity in Texas city governments, and why?
What will be an ideal response?
The state's larger cities have more diverse populations, and these cities have more diversity on the city councils because they use the single-member district system to select city council members. Under this system, the city is divided into districts, and voters in these districts may only vote for candidates who reside there.
