As had been previously reported, on May 20, the 9th circuit upheld the constitutionality of San Francisco’s version of Instant Runoff Voting. The time for IRV opponents to appeal that decision to the U.S. Supreme Court has passed, but no such appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was filed. The decision of the 9th circuit, Dudum v Arntz, 640 F.3d 1098, is the final decision in that case.

IRV = THE method to elect Stalin/Hitler clones to single offices when the muddled Middle is divided.
Gee — is the Middle really divided now ???
34 S–M–H
33 H–M–S
16 M–S–H
16 M–H–S
99
Gee – with head to head votes, who wins ???
Gee – who has a mere 99 votes in 1st + 2nd place votes ???
Of course, pre-school math means NOTHING to retarded math MORONS.
Stalin, Hitler, sarcastic “Gee”s, excessive question marks, retarded, morons (in all-caps no less)…
Do you really think you’re helping? Because I think IRV is a waste of time too, but from where I’m sitting, the only thing you’re accomplishing is making my arguments look bad, because they’re associated with your hateful, demeaning, insulting “arguments”.
Please, stop helping.

And yes, IRV is constitutional. A good thing too, because the only arguments against it being constitutional would have made every non-plurality election method unconstitutional too, had they been successful.
Pending head to head [Condorcet] math —
P.R. for legislative bodies.
Approval Voting for executive/judicial offices.

Can IRV FANATICS guarantee that there will NEVER be Stalin and Hitler clones in the final top 2 if IRV is used for single offices ???
Good luck in the attempt.
