The Vermont House did pass S.108 (Vermont's instant runoff voting bill that originated in the Senate last year), and, as expected, Governor Douglas choose to veto it.

As I write this we're still awaiting a decision on a veto override attempt, but a successful outcome seems a dubious proposition. I'm going to rely on one thing: as a prognosticator I'm generally a miserable failure.

I'll post when I hear more.

In the meantime this blog will be going formally dormant. It will stay up mostly because there is a wealth of good information on the pages within. A good place to start is with the links on the right side as you scroll down.

Please let me know if you or your organization have any IRV related news you/it would like cross posted here. I'll be happy to oblige in most circumstances.
