[Sosfbay-discuss] City of San Jose Commission Discusses IRV Tomorrow (Wed May 13th)

[WB4D23 at aol.com]

Please pass the following along to local Greens:

The San Jose  Elections Commission will be discussing Instant Runoff Voting 
during their  regularly scheduled meeting this Wednesday.  This is an 
excellent  opportunity to show support for IRV.  During the period for public 
comment,  you can simply state that you support IRV, and if you like, offer one 
or two  reasons for your support, such as:  IRV can save San Jose money 
(there will  be just one local election instead of two); IRV produces better, 
more civil  campaigns; IRV cuts down the length and costs of campaigns; IRV 
increases voter  turnout.
