Demographics
gollark: The votes are divided by state, so states.
gollark: The electoral college is really bad too, since it makes third parties more meaningless and encourages hyperfocusing on something like five states.
gollark: Approval voting is simple and good, and not even subject to Arrow's theorem.

Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
  2. Now officially named Jimmy Graham Fork.
