Just for clarification, the Executive director of the Center for
Voting and Democracy is Rob Richie, not Scott Ritchie. Note
that the last names are spelled differently. For CVD contact
information and names other other staff people, visit the CVD
website at:

 I've never really worked personally with them, but my name has appeared
 in so many places regarding voting it's likely the case that you're
 thinking of me.  Right now I'm involved with a very local campaign
 you've probably not heard of known as Davis Citizens for Representation

 proportional STV method for our city council elections rather than
 plurality at large (which is rather common among American localities.)
