I'd like to understand the motivation behind at large council members. If
it is to give a voice to those who don't, then we should seriously be
considering Instant Runoff Voting. This would create more positive
campaigns, give minority groups a better chance at proportional
representation, and have true majority rule by eliminating plurality. This
seems like the first best step to reforming our election system. And if the
parties were smart, they'd implement it as part of their endorsement
process. It would shorten the time frame and make the conventions more
liveable.
