After reading all the people who are filing for this special election, one HOPES there is a runoff feature. Otherwise, Ward 3 could have the "privilege" of being represented by someone who got 15 percent of the vote. Too bad it isn't legal to run this one IRV to save the money and hassle of two elections. Let everybody rank all the candidates and give them points per ranking, just like they do in the sports polls. That would at least tell people that the winner had support from a SUBSTANTIAL portion of Ward 3 voters. If they want independent voices sounding in the upcoming decisions about restraint in spending and prioritizing expenditures, I think this would be the way to do it.
