[EM] Deliberative pollingt

[Jameson Quinn]

This is an interesting attempt. I think that most of us would support more
of this kind of thing.

Aside from the interest of the methodology, people here might be interested
in the content. The California "deliberative
poll"<http://cdd.stanford.edu/polls/california/>had two questions of
interest:

Allow voters to rank the candidates in order of preference, so that the
winner can be
decided without a second election. (61% support before, 58% after)


Elect more than one representative from each Assembly and Senate district
with the
winners receiving seats proportional to votes (48% support before, 49%
after)


I'm personally disappointed that support did not significantly increase on
either question. I suspect that there was not a lot of discussion of these
issues. Still, it is interesting to see the raw results and demographic
breakdowns on these questions.
