IRV is on the November ballot in four jurisdictions with a combined population of well over 1.5 million people: Minneapolis (MN), Pierce County (WA), Davis (CA) and Oakland (CA). The campaigns are doing a terrific job � please see their websites below, and enjoy the first-class new video from the Minneapolis campaign.

With these wins, the state legislative success in North Carolina and national backers including such political stars as John McCain, Howard Dean and Barack Obama, we are at no less than a tipping point. But we have less than seven weeks to win four campaigns that will show IRV's popularity and viability. Each of these campaigns needs all of our support.

In what the Associated Press described as the largest gathering of Latino leaders in decades, the National Latino Congress convened in Los Angeles on September 6th. Convening organizations included MALDEF, LULAC and the Williem C. Velasquez Institute.

FairVote's Rob Richie addressed the opening plenary. That afternoon the Congreso passed a resolution supporting key FairVote reform priorities: the National Popular Vote plan to make every vote equal in presidential elections, instant runoff voting to generate majority winners in a single round of voting and proportional voting methods to represent most voters in local legislative elections. The resolution approved was 1.3 on electoral reform.
