On June 11, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled unanimously that nothing in the Minnesota Constitution is inconsistent with a city’s choice to use Instant Runoff Voting for its own elections. The 30-page decision is here. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link. The case is Minnesota Voters Alliance v City of Minneapolis. The Minnesota Voters Alliance is the group that opposed IRV.
The MN Supremes did NOT answer THE question —
How many Stalin and Hitler clones will get mighty majority *mandates* for their EVIL stuff via IRV ???
P.R. and A.V. NOW — regardless of all math MORON judges.
um, I really do not see what Stalin or Hitler have to do with IRV.
Stalin was not elected. Hitler was, but only after rigging the German campaign laws to curtain the political opponents.
Plus, this may reduce the spoilage argument in ballot access law cases.
See the word *clones*.
Heaven help the U.S.A.
