An interesting message appeared on the Instant Runoff yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/instantrunoff) regarding the use of IRV in the Republican State Convention.
The author (Mike Ridgway) posits that there is going to be a lot of press in Utah concerning IRV, so you may want to be prepared with letters to the editor and contacting the reporter as well to find out if they would like to go further with the story of alternative voting systems.
Here's the messages:
