So, this is a legal test of PR-STV not IRV?
Minneapolis adopted IRV for all single-winner offices (including the
city council elected from single member districts) and STV for two
elected commissions with at-large seats. The plaintiff in the suit
is arguing that they are both unconstitutional for the same reasons.
I don't recall any arguments in the plaintiff's briefs that are said
to apply to one and not the other.
The argument(s) regarding the treatment of surpluses would not apply
to single-seat elections.
