On January 10, the city council of Red Wing, Minnesota, voted to put a ballot measure on the November 2012 ballot. It will ask if voters wish to use Instant Runoff Voting for city elections. See this story. Red Wing has a population of 16,000 and is in southeastern Minnesota.
Same old drill.
IRV = THE method to elect Stalin/Hitler clones when the Middle is divided.
Any times the Middle was NOT divided in U.S.A. political history ??? Duh.
