[Winona] Instant Runnoff Voting

[Craig Brooks]

St. Paul is close to finalizing Instant Runoff Voting for local elections.  Support is out there  in the Twin Cities media.
 


This sure seems like a way to give power back to the voters and not in the hands of the Parties.  
What do you think?  Is this something that would work here for School Board, City Council and County Board?
 
Minneapolis already approved it.
 
"The tone of campaigns would likely change for the better if candidates were angling to be not only the first choice of their own backers, but also the second choice of someone else's. The willingness of voters to back new candidates would likely increase if those voters could also redirect their votes to their second choices. Wider political diversity ought to be the result. "
