The official election gives you just one choice with your vote. But the Green Party advocates a ranked-ballot system where you can tell us how feel about all the candidates by ranking them in order of your preference. http://www.cagreens.org/erwg/irvdemo/pres08.html See how a ranked-ballot election works by participating in our online demonstration! The results will be posted on http://www.cagreens.org/erwg/irvdemo/pres08.html _______________________________________________ San Francisco Green Party Announcement List To unsubscribe, go here: <http://list.sfgreens.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/announce>http<http://list.sfgreens.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/announce>://list.sfgreens.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/announce
