On April 21, the California Assembly Elections Committee passed AB 1121. It would let 10 general law cities or counties use Instant-Runoff Voting for their own elections.
A somewhat broader bill passed the legislature in the last session. It would have let any general law city or county use IRV. However, that bill was vetoed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The bill would allow multi-seat forms of ranked voting too – for instance, allowing Davis to implement the will of its voters to move to choice voting, as expressed in a 2006 ballot measure.
There’s an impressive coalition backing this effort, including:
Californians for Electoral Reform (sponsor)
Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality
California Common Cause
CALPIRG
FairVote
League of California Cities
League of Women Voters of California
New America Foundation
Secretary of State Debra Bowen
How many leftwing [Stalin] / rightwing [Hitler] clones WILL be elected to single person offices by IRV and claim an IRV mighty majority mandate [MMM] for their EVIL stuff ???

H 49 1 49
S 49 0 50

Of course in this New Age of EVIL hype and growing math ignorance only expedient stuff counts.
P.R. legislative bodies
A.V. nonpartisan executive / judicial elections.
There’s a huge amount of money to turn our government into the type that did get Hitler into power.
The ultimate goal is to have us be like Italy or Israel where the govt is permanently messed up and there is no such thing as a majority.
Fractured splintered govts, violence and chaos.
Who benefits? The big corporations. How else can you get elected in these systms without some big corporate money?
