YES!!! Sending democracy vibes to Maine so they pass it and start our nation down the path to real democratic elections.
Yay!
NO !!!! More brainwashing of the math brain dead population.
IRV ignores most to the data in a Place Votes table.
See earlier postings.
Thus IRV is one more FATAL *reform* like the top 2 primary — due to the math MORONS.
Proper reform – Condorcet Head to Head math — BUT takes SOME education and would need computerized voting in any larger election.
Wish Missouri had IRV.
IRV as used in SF and Oakland are no good.
IRV in single-winner districts cements a one-party system since only the biggest civic group can attain 50% (plus one vote) as required under IRV.
Do you want to see pure representation (PR)?
The USA Parliament has been using it for more than 21 consecutive years and it works fine:

I brought the concept to every voter in California as a statement on the voters’ pamphlet in 1994 and I spoke about it at Richard Winger’s house in 1994. Google copied my logo and programs in 1997 after the USA Parliament was in third year.
Now there is the new International Parliament:

“Do you want to see pure representation (PR)? ”
No.
“The USA Parliament has been using it for more than 21 consecutive years and it works fine.”
An irrelevant group with no power on the level with writing Batman fan-fiction.
P.R. is used in MOST of the “civilized” free world nations — Germany, Israel, etc. etc.
Means zero to MORONS with AREA fixations — regardless of the number of actual voters in such areas.

P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
