The Hidden Swing State?

rwiedower writes "What if all the Nader voters lived in a single state? Kerry would have to court them and their electoral votes just like he pursues union workers in Ohio and senior citizens in Florida. Now, in the two weeks before the election, Nader's 1% might well be a deciding factor. And Nader voters, sick of being told that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush, have formed a loose coalition demanding to be treated for what they are--a swing state."

Have you called your congressman to support H.R.5293 ? IRV is being considered for all federal offices NOW. Spread the word on this. Tell your friends. Ask them to tell their friends. The 2008 elections could, concievably, be held in an IRV format.

I submitted the scoop on this to /. this morning, because I thought it was important enough to get some coverage. And the contrasts between IRV and the systems used by Debian are quite interesting. Unfortunately it was rejected. So, help spread the word.
