<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Between 1912 and 1930, limited forms of ranked-choice voting (typically with
only two rankings<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-:0-5" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">^[5]</a>)
were implemented and subsequently repealed in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida" title="Florida" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">Florida</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana" title="Indiana" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">Indiana</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland" title="Maryland" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">Maryland</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota" title="Minnesota" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">Minnesota</a>,
and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin" title="Wisconsin" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">Wisconsin</a>.
In the 1970s, it was implemented and repealed in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Arbor,_Michigan" title="Ann Arbor, Michigan" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">Ann Arbor, Michigan</a> following the election of

It has since been reinstated in Burlington, and Ann Arbor residents voted to
reinstate it as well, with that use likely needing approval from Michigan’s
state legislature.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-256" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">^[256]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-257" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">^[257]</a></p><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Next, Mr. Garman, I'll contact the person who mentioned the conference in which Rob Richie or FairVote promised to stop making the false-claim...which he or they soon resumed making.</p><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> I'll post more details of the incident as soon as I get them.<span></span></p>
