Now ask yourself why you think this system is present in my country, Australia, and not the United States?

Think about how this type of voting would affect the influence of the media....

There is no doubt to me that this is a superior method for electing people. This would eliminate the bullshit we have right now of voters say "I like Ron Paul but he can't win so I am voting for McCain".

I say this because I want this movement to also be about pushing for a more fair system of voting for 3rd parties.

We should each make an effort in our states to move toward prefence elections.
