Voting Concept: 2-Factor Majority

I like the idea a lot since it basically mirrors the way Switzerland governs its country (which works quite well given the prosperity and QoL):

For a proposal to pass you not only need the majority of all votes in the country (51%) but also the majority of districts. This takes some voting power from bigger districts in favor of the smaller ones.

Example:
2’000’000 / 3’500’000 voters say YES; 15 / 26 districts say YES => PASS
2’000’000 / 3’500’000 voters say YES; 12 / 26 districts say YES => FAIL

Important to note is that not all proposals require the district majority

In addition to that, and to specifically address the economic factor that plays a role here (for some, $100 in JUP is a big deal, for some its nothing) I’d argue for a “social proof of work” factor as laid out in this thread initiated by @d3f4ult: How to create the first manipulation proof DAO - #4 by rstnpce

Ultimately, I’d mostly agree with @BlueZenith when he says we need more data before implementing changes. The voting mechanism is not something that we should change often (if at all).
