Eh, I'll drop my bid for delegate.  Dallasfan would do a better job than I.

Score voting is a lot simpler than our current system.  In the last election, I had a hard time figuring out if I had been elected or not.  Instant-runoff has it's flaws, and I think it wouldn't hurt to experiment with other, potentially better, voting systems.

It seems like this would be very hard to implement, and voters not actively following politics in the Northeast would be confused. Plus issues like ties seem more likely with this kind of voting.

Ties are probably more likely with IRV, than with score voting.  And voters who aren't familiar with a candidate can just put in a "no opinion" vote, which will have no effect on that candidate's standing.

I will offer an amendment.

Changing everything to score voting would be a major leap. Why don't we take this change slowly, and only implement it for the October Lt. Gubernatorial Election as a trial? If we like how it works, we can write another bill making the score voting permanent, and if we don't like it, then we never have to worry about it again!

That's a wonderful idea!  I support this amendment.

It's always good to try new things, even in government.  If the people are happy with the results for Lieutenant Governor in October, then we can implement score voting to apply to all regional elections with more than two candidates.

Now, hopefully we'll have more than two candidates for lieutenant governor.

I nearly forgot...there should be a write-in option.

I'd like to reintroduce my Score Voting Act, but for the Lieutenant Governor position for the next election.

Also, maybe a bill to make 'Hurr Durr" the official motto of the Northeast.  Tongue

Indeed.  It is both "Yes" in Russian and Shiani.

Okay, then.

Nay.

There's no minimum drinking age in China or Portugal - somehow their societies continue to function.
