Instant run-off voting

I think all elections should have instant run-off voting, where you select a second, even third choice, among candidates. However, Republicans are never going to agree with anything Dems want.

The Democratic Party should be able to use IRV in its own primaries. Our governor’s race is a great example: five candidates are trailing Undecided. Under the current system, the winner will be someone the majority doesn’t want. How many people avoid voting under such circumstances?

There should also be a None of the Above so that all the candidates know the voters are unhappy with their options.

I would vote Morales, Rael, Webber, Lopez, and None of the Above. Let the party lead the way in our own primary.
