Hi,

The current issue of the Pasadena Weekly, also available at 
www.pasadenaweekly.com, includes an article I wrote.  It shows how 
spoiling can occur given Instant Runoff (IRV), contrary to the beliefs 
of most IRV proponents.  It proposes several better methods, including a 
simple but probably very effective patch for IRV: letting candidates 
withdraw after the votes are cast.

I had nothing to do with the title & subtitle given the article by the 
Pasadena Weekly:
   Robert's Rules for voting
   Or Would VPR - not - IRV - elections be a better fit for Americans?

Regards,
Steve
