Results are slow to be coming in from Cincinnati after computer problems in the county elections department, but we’re thrilled with news reports that instant runoff voting won some 70% of the vote in Memphis, Tennessee — see examples of the excellent local campaign at www.yesonfive.org.

Memphis is a large city — some 400,000 were expected to count ballots today. This is a big win for instant runoff voting.
