[KB] If you (and we) used Instant Runoff Voting to elect people when there's
just one winner, such as for the County Board District 4 seat, you (and we)
wouldn't need primary elections. Of course, the problem of low turnout for
primaries would be eliminated as would the extra cost to run primaries.
