Election Changes
On Tuesday the city council approved a form on instant runoff voting for those voting overseas. I think its a great idea. Here's the SJ-R article. If anyone deserves an extra effort to have their vote counted it's those serving our nation overseas in the military.
I think its something we should consider for everyone else as well. It would save the city money by having only one election day instead of separate primary and general elections. That could free up funds to have more than one early-voting location. I also think people should be able to cast a vote for someone they believe in without feeling like they're throwing their vote away.
