How are you defining one person one vote so that range voting violates it? Sennet Williams Re: [EM] Election-Methods Digest, Vol 145, Issue 6  >>range voting is illegal in the u.s.,  simple.  it violates the one person-one vote law.  IRV/condorcet is definitely the most logical voting system for identifying the most popular candidate.  Due to cultural evolution, IRV will  finally be enacted and end all the wars caused by parliament, the govt. of war.
