It prevents 'regions' from dominating the system, while still keeping representation pretty close to equal.
Then there are the problems that can come from one centralized voting system, we have 50+. That makes wholesale fraud darn near impossible.
Thank you so much for your kind expressing your attitude towards the existing election system. For me it is very interesting to learn the thoughts and arguments of a real person, but not engaged "experts" and corrupt journalists whom I don't trust.

Nor casting pearls to swine.
