The one thing that we can all do to bring about voting reform is to vote for whatever third-party candidates we feel best represent our views. The flaws of plurality voting are only apparent to the public when we have either spoilers or close 3-way races (e.g. Minnesota gubernatorial race in 1998). At least one person on this list is running for office as a third-party candidate. If he can deny the winner a majority then he has added one more count to the indictment against plurality voting. Good luck, Rob! Alex ---- For more information about this list (subscribe, unsubscribe, FAQ, etc), please see http://www.eskimo.com/~robla/em
