Supporters of Instant Runoff Voting launched a statewide initiative in Massachusetts on September 11. The proposed initiative would provide that IRV would be used in primaries and general elections, for all partisan federal and state office except President. The group only has until November 18 to submit approximately 66,594 valid signatures. It hopes to sign up 5,000 volunteers who will pledge to collect 20 signatures each. See the webpage here.

There is immense petitioning power in MA right now. If this initiative is funded, please call me and I can gaurantee it makes the ballot. If it is not funded, it still has a chance, if there are even a few wealthy backers, since it can “piggy back” with the other pro-freedom initiatives. If volunteers can get half the job done, the remaining half can be completed by paid petitioners. This would be true if there were even one month left. 907-250-5503
