"In real world"? Evidence please - on a WORLD basis.. I have never encountered such limits in any IRV election. But then, I don't live in the USA. Some "3-only" limits are imposed because of the limitations of the out-of-date equipment used to tally paper ballots. James Gilmour Edinburgh, Scotland --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
