Plurality Voting, Majority Voting, Instant Runoff Voting: Which Is Best for Democracy?
The upcoming Governor's race will be decided by a plurality of votes, not a majority. The winner will be whomever receives the most votes even if they do not have over 50% of the votes. Is that how our Governor should be elected?
The public is welcome to join the League of Women Voters of the Austin Area to discuss this issue at the Informal Discussion Group meeting, with guest discussion leader, Dr. Gary Keith, Senior Lecturer in the Government Department at the University of Texas.

PLACE: Scholz Garten, 1607 San Jacinto

Governor Dean's 50-state strategy is already working: Democrats are running for office in the most unlikely places--and winning. The Governor will be here raising money for the DNC, and all states, including Texas', benefit. In fact, at a recent DNC meeting, Texas received the third largest check in the country from the DNC's Victory Fund!
How do you get in to see (and if you're lucky, meet) Governor Dean? You must either be a current Democracy Bond holder, commit to being one for as little as $10 per month, or make a one-time contribution of $50 ($20 for students with valid ID). All of the details are here--http://democracyfortexas.org/dean--(copy and paste the link into your browser) including how you can get into the high-dollar fundraiser later in the evening with Governor Dean and former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle without spending $1,000!
Governor Dean always draws a huge crowd in Austin--reserve your spot now.
