In the latest episode of "In Full Color," IVN Editor Shawn Griffiths discusses a new voting method with Sara Wolf, campaign manager for STAR Voting for Lane County in Oregon that could change the way we look at elections.

Shawn and Sara get into the origins of STAR Voting, how it works, the campaign to get it implemented in Oregon, and more. Want to know more? Leave us your questions, comments, or feedback and get more on the In Full Color column on IVN.us.
