Aspen, Colorado, has had a bit of trouble adopting an instant runoff (IRV) election system -- the same system that will be used to determine Oscar winners next year. According to the Aspen Daily News, election officials erroneously used the vote-counting formula favored in a fellow leftist enclave:
"- On election night, TBI [True Ballot Inc., which tabulated votes on
election night] used a tabulation program configuration that was
different from the one it had tested in the public Logic and Accuracy
Test and that reflected the IRV tabulation rules of Cambridge,
Massachusetts, instead of the IRV rules approved for Aspen's election
by the Aspen City Council. As a result, the vote tally reported in the
Plaintiff's mayoral race on election night was incorrect.
