It is a good opportunity to talk about the importance of enacting IRV legislation at all levels including state and federal elections. Matt is very supportive of it, and helped organize the political support for its implementation in San Francisco, working with Steve Hill, the Center for Voting and Democracy, and many other organizations..
Let us have a good discussion about the importance of using IRV to end the spoiler problem. We can educate those who don't know about it, not limited to, but especially progressives. They are not going to hear about it on the corporate media.
