i don't know if it'll ever happen nationwide.
i hope it does...
third-party candidates don't have much of a chance
unless it does, but they do have a chance to affect
the outcome. the 2000 and 1992 presidential
elections were perfect examples of that.thanks for putting up that website.
there's a lot of info there about u.s. elections
which have been won with less than 50% of the vote.
http://fairvote.org/plurality/index.htmlany victory without 50% of the vote means that 3rd, 4th, 5th,.... candidates affected the outcome.
IRV proposes to make that effect more palatable to
a majority of the voters.we voted on IRV in state elections here in alaska
last year, but it lost about 2-1. few voters were
informed about the issue, and informing them was
exhausting.isn't san francisco going to IRV for city elections?
IRV, SRB?
