The fall out of Tuesday's local election to replace late City Councilman At-Large Tommy Hazouri will lead to a runoff election in February. Neither Tracye Polson or Nick Howland got 50 percent of the vote plus one in Tuesday’s contest. That means they go to a runoff.

Election reforms like ranked choice voting could make runoff elections a thing of the past. Advocates say they save money and force political parties to stop pandering to critics.

Guest: Perry Waag, election reform activist.
