Trump needs to outlaw this commie crap nationwide
37% of those who preferred the 3rd, 4th, or 5th place candidates, did not express a preference between the first two candidates.

the CR in the news – rest of 2024-2025 fiscal year
total waste of ink/paper for any stuff beyond 2025.
Let anyone propose a rank order list. (e.g. “Thomas Jones from Detroit, Michigan suggests that you rank the candidates for Mayor of Redondo Beach as:”)
How about standing count?
JR-
AS YOU NOTED IN 1208 PM – MANY VOTERS FIND IT APPARENTLY TOO DIFFICULT TO VOTE FOR [RANK] MORE THAN ONE CANDIDATE.
THUS MY PR RATIO MATH —
VOTER VOTES FOR ONE CANDIDATE IN LEGISLATIVE BODIES – IF GETS RATIO = ELECTED
IF LOSE — VOTES GO UP TO A REMAINING UN-ELECTED CANDIDATE
AZ666 is the handle of the spambot that is screaming
And if you think Akismet will be installed here you are dreaming
Is Jim Riley saying dead people are voting in Detroit?
@AZ,
Maybe the voters would prefer to have a conventional runoff. What is your compulsion for instant runoff voting, and quantizing support.
Note in Redondo Beach, that only the mayoral race had a large number of candidates. Two of the city council races had two candidates, and one had three.
jr-
primaries have become testing grounds for extremist laws and worse tyrants.
Legis bodies are almost extinct due to scotus upholding legislative/judicial powers in execs/bureaucrats –the super-deep STATE
thus
ONE Election Day
PR – REAL democracy in legislative bodies
APPV – nonpartisan execs/judics

basic 2 things reducing total nonstop tyrants and wars –

@AZ,
What do primaries have to do with a runoff?
Are legislative/executive/judicial (any others?) totally separate if there are checks and balances?
jr–
nooo extremist primaries needed or wanted – with or without primary runoffs >>> shorter election seasons
totally separate LEJ powers are automatic *** checks and balances ***
ALL of the current SOP violations are instant const crises –
congress impeachments – Prez vetoes / pardons – etc
due to carrying over many rotted Brit SOP violations into 1776 state consts
Of course dead people vote in Detroit. Duh!

If dead people hadn’t voted in Detroit, Biden woulda lost Michigan. Duh!

Did the corpse of Tom Jones vote in 2024?
Did any humans vote for tyrant trump in 2024 ???–
or just snakes / spiders / sharks / predators ???
Spambots vote demon rat.
@AZ,
22% turnout? Maybe the solution is to dissolve the city rather than tinker with election methods.
Why would a runoff for 10,000 voters cost $150,000? If labor is the main cost of elections, at $15/hour one clerk can only handle one voter per hour?
Did you look at the school board elections?
@ ODR
So do corpses.
