Electoral reform in New Mexico
Electoral reform in New Mexico refers to efforts to change election and voting laws in this arid U.S. state.
Alternate voting systems
The Constitution of New Mexico specifies that the plurality candidate must be declared elected. There have been proposals in New Mexico to use instant runoff voting as a result of Green Party candidates contributing to Republican victories by acting as spoilers in House races. Specifically, the New Mexico State Senate came close to approving a constitutional amendment in 1998 to allow IRV with a favorable vote in the Rules Committee and a tie vote in the subsequent committee.
Allocation of electoral votes
In 2007, SB 666 was introduced to allocate New Mexico's 5 electoral votes to the winner of the nationwide popular vote, but it failed.[1]
gollark: Not necessarily. If we assume that there are some amount people of devoting some fixed amount of time hours a day to reading news, and right now it's 90% real/10% fake, and writing 5x more content would push it to 80%/20%, that would be bad.
gollark: Which won't necessarily go faster just because you can write a few times more.
gollark: People actually spreading your content, quite possibly?
gollark: I don't disagree. However, you can already *do that* and I don't think the main limitation to fake news is just how fast/cheaply you can generate text.
gollark: Unicorns are a strong enough claim to prompt further checking. Language models passed the point where the output would seem plausible to a human who wasn't concentrating ages ago.
