DEADLINE, MIDNIGHT FRIDAY:  ELECT A GREEN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE USING THE IRV MODEL
Electoral Reform Working Group (California Greens) is sponsoring an online ranked-ballot-voting demonstration -- called Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) -- using the Green Presidential Primary candidates.  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
