I'd be curious Neal for your response to what I understand is the major
complaint against RRV and SPV methods -- namely that voters often are
confused by them. Perhaps this electorate is sufficiently attuned that it
would not suffer that problem ... but am I correct that it can be a problem,
I think, in other settings.

I'd also like to be on the list, if it is created.
Joonas, I have made the case for a Proportional Representation (PR) method
to be used, and STV (a PR method) would be an improvement over the current
approach, I think. Reweighted Range Voting (RRV) is another worthy option.
