Burlington Vermont sets another example for Minneapolis, adopting IRV for mayoral elections.
>From http://www.fairvote.org/ "On March 1, Burlington voters gave instant runoff voting a landslide win. Even as other high-profile ballot measures went down in defeat, 62% of voters supported adopting instant runoff voting for mayoral elections." Burlington follows Ferndale Michigan, which adopted IRV by ballot with 70% approval last November. See: http://www.fairvote.org/irv/ferndalepress.htm Jeanne Massey Kingfield REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
