Instant Runoff Voting

choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without

Single Transferable Vote is a well-tested way to get PR. And PR is a good way to choose a parliament or legislature, since it brings many independent voices to the discussion.

But single winner elections such as president, governor or senator should choose the strongest centrist, rather than the strongest member of the strongest faction, in order to reach consensus.

Score voting is far better than IRV and is far simpler to implement.

"Wherever IRV can combine two rounds of balloting into one and eliminate unnecessary elections, it can save cash-strapped municipalities some serious money. Elections don't come cheap. One shudders to think of the millions and millions of dollars that Virginia's taxpayers just shelled out to draw a scant 6 percent of registered voters to the polls." Blair

voting doesn`t have sense guys. this country has been bought and paid for a long time ago.

B!S! What we have to do is outlaw the Electoral College and have a few more parties in the process.Teach a class in "Problems of Democracy",this use to be taught to kids back in the 60s, a class that got us all so involved in the process we protested everything spoon fed to us by the Gov't & the media & changed the world.Thats why they don't teach it any more.Election day should be a national holiday so more than 1/3 of the population CAN vote.The only spoilers are the two major parties!

"BS" you say? Perhaps you don't realize that Instant Runoff Voting would lead to more parties grabbing a larger foothold in elections, and positively affecting those elections. It would help third parties overcome the draconian ballot access laws in most states. Those ballot access laws being written to eliminate voter choice, of course.

In New Zealand we use this method to elect Local Government officials. We use Mixed Member Proportional to elect our parliament members

"this system is missing a ''none of the above'' box."

lol

y vote at all then

Australia was also the first country to adopt this method except we call preferential voting. We also have a really complicated system of proportional representation for the senate which means a more accurate representation of different policies.
