While I'm torn about the best type of election reform
for Minneapolis (instant-runoff voting versus
proportional representation), there are ways we can
preserve majority rule in Minneapolis while still
giving minority voices (or majority-minority voices,
depending upon circumstances) their due.  (I'm a DFLer
by persuasion and profession, for the record.)

We would do well to keep an eye on San Francisco's use
of IRV.  San Francisco adopted IRV for use in
municipal elections just a couple months ago. The
results should be promising.
