[Election-Methods] RELEASE: Instant Runoff Voting (Chris Benham)

[Dave Ketchum]

Tells us little since this is one person's opinion.

IRV lets voters state their desires more completely than Plurality and is 
often better at picking a winner - but sometimes fails badly, so:

Not too bad when you do not know of better.
I join Kathy in wantng to move to better.
