Additional information

I was led to this study by a conversation with James Crook in which he told me of unpublished work he did jointly with Charles Goetz of Virginia Polytechnic Institute which led them to conjecture part (i) of Theorem 1. A suggestion of Bernard Grofman attacted my attention to state constitution amendments as an application I am indebted to William H. Riker and Melvin Hinich for comments on an earlier draft.
