Progressives hope new voting method will get attention

Congress.org - News : Activists pin hopes on the Academy
This year's academy awards voting method is a favorite of Progressives. It's a method that uses "instant runoff". Not sure how you could ever use this method without massive amounts of voter fraud.
In an instant-runoff system, voters make their second choices clear upfront. If no candidate wins a majority in the first round of voting, the contender with the fewest first-preference votes will be eliminated, just as in a normal runoff.
"The outcome is you can have a fractured field. You can have a quote, unquote winner who most people hate," Richie said. "You can imagine a scenario in which someone wins who is a really unrepresentative nominee."
