Instant Run-off Voting Rebuffed in Sacramento

Argh. I am not sure why it is so hard for such a good idea to get enacted by a progressive state like California. I'm talking about instant run-off voting.Instant run-off voting is an election system by which the voters include a ranked list of their preferences for the candidates on the ballot. It reduces the unfortunate situation of having to vote for the "lesser of two evils."
