<div>As an Alternate, I cannot co-sponsor. I want to encourage the rest of the committee to support this action. Instant Runoff Voting, aka Ranked Choice Voting, has been something I've personally promoted for years. I believe that it is the Silver Bullet to the "Lesser of Two Evils" nonsense. It's been court-tested, and found to be both legal and Constitutional. </div>

This would, at least, lead to more earned<br /> media and fewer debate exclusions. I think if RCV were<br /> being used for this Presidential election, Gary Johnson and<br /> Bill Weld would have been included in all four debates.<br /> <br /> I ask my colleagues to<br /> co-sponsor this email ballot and to vote "Yes" on<br /> it.<br /> <br /> Thanks, Bill<br /> Redpath<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> --<br /> In<br /> Liberty,Caryn Ann<br /> HarlosRegion 1<br /> Representative, Libertarian National Committee (Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,<br /> Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - Caryn.Ann.<br /> Harlos@LP.orgCommunications Director, Libertarian Party of<br /> ColoradoColorado State Coordinator, Libertarian Party<br /> Radical Caucus<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> --<br /> In<br /> Liberty,Caryn Ann<br /> HarlosRegion 1<br /> Representative, Libertarian National Committee (Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,<br /> Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - Caryn.Ann.<br /> Harlos@LP.orgCommunications Director, Libertarian Party of<br /> ColoradoColorado State Coordinator, Libertarian Party<br /> Radical Caucus<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -----Inline Attachment Follows-----<br /> <br /> ______________________________<wbr />_________________<br /> Lnc-business mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org">Lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a><br /> <a href="http://hq.lp.org/mailman/">http://hq.lp.org/mailman/</a><wbr />listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.<wbr />org<br /> <br /> <br /> ______________________________<wbr />_________________<br /> Lnc-business mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org">Lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a><br /> <a href="http://hq.lp.org/mailman/">http://hq.lp.org/mailman/</a><wbr />listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.<wbr />org</blockquote>
