I think I understand why one would want to more-or-less "eliminate" geography from our national elections... But I think there are enough people with hardons for "state's rights" to make that a touchy issue.
Thoughts? (beyond "fuck'em")
;D

Two other major reforms needed are national popular vote elections (which has a lot of support in Congress) and paper ballots. The only way we'll get IRV voting machines is if we subsidize Diebold to create totally new technology and that will probably not happen.

Direct democracy is absolutely crucial. If people choose to vote on every issue, fine, but if they don't want to vote on what they consider unworthy, they can still elect representatives to vote for them in their absence. But that's more long-term.
What are the obstacles to IRV?

Proportional representation only vaguely mainstream reference i've ever seen

Would IRV effect the primarys? Cause I'll confess, this IRV sounds like the primary season. In my state of Massachusetts, I got to vote for Obama twice. Once in the primary's and again on election day. Needless to say, things went my way. Now, what's the problem with that? Each individual American can not have their own senator, governor, president. My point is there will never be one politician for all. Ron Paul, Barack Obama, and Nader, can't all be president at the same time.

I agree that plurality voting should be abolished. However, I prefer Condorcet methods to IRV. My favorite Condorcet method is the Schulze method. See the "Schulze method" article at Wikipedia for more information.
