Lea, IRV supporters want to sell the idea of majority elections. Are they arguing for 50%+1? WIll they later argue - hey its cheaper to get a majority with IRV? Then, will they do a bait and switch on you after you learn that IRV doesn't give you 50%+1? Like they did in Cary NC?
See "The Instant Runoff Voting Lie, as told to Cary, North Carolina" IRV was sold to Cary North Carolina as providing a 50% + 1 majority win, along with the other false but clever claims...
