Mpls-Issues tip: please delete as much of this message's text as possible if replying to the list. Thanks! ----------- This is an excellent idea David. We could all be using preference voting and other great ideas like it on all sorts of levels. The Minneapolis Green Party has already tried preference (or instant run-off) voting for endorsements. I also noted that last weekend the Independence party endorsed the Minneapolis Election Reform Coalition's proposal, joining the Green Party. They may also already be using it in to endorse city candidates. There will be a public hearing of the Minneapolis Charter Commission on the Instant Runoff Voting proposal submitted by the Minneapolis Election Reform Coalition for Minneapolis. It is scheduled for Wednesday, May 9th at 4pm in room 333 City Hall, 350 South 5th Street. We need people to come show their support for our proposal, so please bring friends and family if you can. 4pm is a hard time for those of us who have to work all day, but I do hope that lots of people can attend. Folks can learn more, express their views and see what others think. Petitioning on this one has already begun. Cam Gordon Candidate for Minneapolis City Council, Ward 2 914 Franklin Terrace Mpls.
