[EM] 4th Annual Free & Equal Electoral Reform Symposium

[robert bristow-johnson]

wow.
let us know when you or anyone is doing something like this in the northeast.  the collection of topics sound very interesting.



(and my suggestion, Jan, is the "alternative voting methods" should include other ranked forms than just instant runoff.  (should talk about Condorcet, too.)
bestest,
