Single-member districts and multi-member districts are alike in that both:
A) Elect one member per district.
C) Dilute the power of racial minorities relative to the alternatives.
In single-member districts, each district elects one representative. This means that the power is concentrated in each district, potentially diluting the influence of minority groups. Similarly, in multi-member districts, although multiple members are elected from the same district, the voting system used can also lead to dilution of power for minorities compared to alternative systems.
Therefore, both types of districts share the characteristic of potentially diluting the power of racial minorities relative to other electoral systems.
