- [3709041-017](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3709041-017) [design/argued] -- Under a quadratic style microdemocratic allocation, each voter receives a capped number of votes to distribute by priority, so voters concentrate votes on the issues most relevant to them and outcomes track actual preference intensity.
  > Each voter in a given microdemocratic voting scenario may be allocated a maximum number of votes. Such votes may be allocated by priority to any issues the respective voter wants to engage with.

- [3709041-018](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3709041-018) [mechanism/argued] -- Microdemocratic vote allocation improves outcome quality because a voter's proportional allocation of votes to an issue is itself evidence of that voter's higher knowledge of the issue, and voters are unlikely to give top priority to issues they know little about.
  > Moreover, part of the power of this microdemocratic approach derives from the higher levels of knowledge a given voter has on a particular issue that is evidenced by the voters' proportional allocation of votes on such issue.
