Your objection is what, Counterpunch?

She didn't advocate the 10-4-1, because the 4 refers to quadrants. She would have preferred increasing the single member districts and keeping the At-large districts. She believed quadrant approach left the city without someone without "sectional" allegiances.

She advocated proportional representation.
She advocated engineering an "increase of minority presence" which in her opinion "is important."

She later went on to claim that said proportional representation is a "Constitutional requirement" of the Voting Rights Act, which is flatly wrong, and clear to anyone on even a cursory reading of Section 2(b).
