Eugene voters reject STAR Voting proposal
Eugene voters have rejected a proposal for a new rating-based election system.

I'm surprised it lost so soundly, it was a 2:1 margin.
I don't think star voting is perfect, but it's clearly better than the plurality voting we use now.
Most interesting theory I've heard yet is that they shot themselves in the foot by putting it on a primary election. Primary voters tend to be partisans who are fine with the 2 party farcewe have now.
That's exactly how I felt. I thought it was a step in the right direction. Oh well.
