The so-called Minnesota Voters Alliance is pursuing a lawsuit against Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) -- after thousands of citizens worked hard to enable it -- claiming such nonsense as it would confuse senior citizens. As these three letters to the Star Tribune newspaper illustrate, the Alliance is doing nothing more than spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD). It's not too difficult to figure out why, either. They don't really represent the voters -- who with IRV actually get an improved chance to voice their will -- but instead the "inside" interests who stand to lose some of their power, some of their undemocratic grasp on the political system.
To the Minnesota Voters Alliance, I say FOAD. I hope the court throws your silly suit right out of court.

Media morons
Go, Ron Paul, go!
The corrupt, inept and brainless mainstream media refuses to acknowledge Ron Paul even exists, yet he managed to out-poll Rudy Giulani in Iowa.
And that 5th place rank was only out of third by a few votes, while Paul's 5th place was quadruple the votes of Giuliani's 6th. The critics were pretty much all wrong.
