I don't get it either. But this is the first time I'm not voting against someone by picking the other party.

And I do wish the congress was setup in a proportional type setup. The only problem I see (and it might not be accurate), is that you don't vote for an individual person, you vote for the party. And the party gets to choose who they select.
