Hi all, Long time no see -- I was active here a couple years ago[1]. I'm writing to ask your help encouraging Unity08[2] to implement some form of ranked-choice voting (aka "Preferential Voting"):
http://www.unity08.com/node/970 rather than the usual first-past-the-post system they're currently proposing: http://unitywatch.blogspot.com/2007/03/unity08-rules.html Because of their use of Internet technology, and the large number of candidates expected, this seems an ideal forum for promoting more balanced election methods. If you are a U.S. citizen, and you agree with me, I'd appreciate your help. If you have any suggestions for how to concisely pitch the idea to them, that would also be welcome. Thanks!
