Proportionality in elections means the share of representation for a group is about the same as its share of support: if Wisconsin is voting about 50-50 between Ds and Rs, then the congressional delegation should be split evenly to be considered proportional. Now suppose we all vote in a multi-winner election by ranking our choices. What would it mean for the outcome to satisfy proportionality? I'll propose a definition and explain some ongoing research to begin to explore it.
