May I interrupt your discussion for a moment to ask a couple of questions?

(I currently chair Washington Citizens for Proportional Representation and I
believe this list began from our Web site.  I have been a silent member of
the list for the last couple of months, just to see what was going on.)

I am disturbed by the negative references to CVD and the League of Women
Voters new national study.  I am trying to influence the content of the
latter.  Could you put in simple, layman's words (not formulas), what is so
bad about IRV for single winner offices?  Are you so adamant in your
opposition that you will actively and publicly oppose any tiny steps toward
Choice Voting that those of us working in the education trenches try to
make?

I am a teacher and strong supporter of STV.  If there is something better,
that you can make understandable to me, and that I can help make
understandable to others, I'd like to hear about it on or off the list..
 Thank you.
