To vote in the Tuesday Tracker ranked choice straw poll for October 9, 2007, click the link above, or click here. Polls close at midnight PST.
Barak Obama took an early lead, but John Edwards is currently on top.
The system uses a ranked choice ballot and displays results in three ways:
- Plurality (what you're used to)
- Depth (a system similar to college football rankings)
- Instant Runoff (like the system in Australia and some US cities)
Instant Runoff trumps if the different systems result in different winners. It can happen, which makes things interesting.
Also, a month-long poll for officially-announced Dems is here:

Last week's results are below the fold.
John Edwards won the October 2, 2007 DEM Tuesday Tracker Instant Runoff in 6 rounds.
