The purpose of this memo is to observe the actual voting data generated by Aspen’s May 2009 Mayoral and City Council IRV elections with regards to bullet voting, and to observe whether bullet voting impacted the outcomes of those elections. This memo is expressly not to be construed as an attack upon any person, elected official, candidate, government official or entity, political party, or political persuasion.
