- noting that a declaratory judgment action challenging the implementation of instant runoff voting was resolved initially by the district court
- reasoning that claims that a voting system was unconstitutional based on reallocation of surplus votes in a multi-seat election and its “non-monotonic” nature failed in part because the claims were based on hypothetical situations where the alleged harm may or may not occur
- \[I]t is only because votes for continuing candidates are carried forward and combined with subsequent-choice votes of voters for eliminated candidates that any candidate can eventually win.\
