I would suggest that you use a Condorcet method instead of IRV, or at
least that, in your IRV code, consider a runoff between the bottom two
in the elimination stage, and then eliminate the one voted below the
other by the most voters. Doing so would go a long way in fixing the IRV
problems exhibited in the 2009 Burlington election.
With a name like TryIRV.us, tinkering with the method might not be
practical, though.
