Markus, The source you cite is a Minnesota League of Women Voters report that refers to an article with legal analysis in the Minnesota Bar Association's journal, dealing with the Minnesota statutes and Minnesota constitution.
"Municipal Voting System Reform: Overcoming the Legal Obstacles." Bench and Bar of Minnesota. Vol. 59, No. 9, October 2002 FairVote is not responsible for reports by the League of Women Voters or lawyers writing scholarly articles. Again, I do not think FairVote has any position on the constitutionality of Condorcet Voting, and would probably defend its constitutionality.
