You Go, Ernie!

Listed in the class reading assignments is an article on the Muppets choosing their new CEO. The article from FairVote.org is a fabulous way to explain Instant Run-off Voting by using the beloved Muppet characters and a little humor.

Instant Run-off Voting supports the theory that not only does the candidate with the majority of votes win, but the candidate with the majority of support wins as well. It's a cute article and if you're a Muppets fan (my favorite is Cookie Monster) you'll enjoy the process of how the new Muppets CEO was voted-in.
