mr. chair, and i want to thank supervisor farrell. a lot of things have been made out of rank chase of voting and things that would ensue or have been sued. i think that any analysis of this voting in my view demonstrates the parade of horribles has not materialized, and, in fact, i think some of the criticisms that have been levied against ranked choice of voting are criticisms that would most definitely apply to what is being proposed. and the idea that we would have a september runoff, and that would have a solution to the supposedly turnout and other issues around confusion, i do not think that is confusing. i do not think that is supported by evidence. the fact is the voting system that we have in place is a system that has led to increase voter turnout. it is a system that has engaged more citizens in san francisco in the elections, and with respect to the idea that somehow ranked choice of voting has somehow been too confusing for some voters, i just do not think the evidence proves that. the analysis we have seen, including th

mr. vollrath. ms. farrell. >> thank you, mr. chairman.hank you for the opportunity to be here today to discuss a gao's observations on dod's civilian work force requirements. the work force consists of approximately 783,000 personnel , and performs a wide variety of duties, including some traditionally performed by military personnel. in 2001, gao placed strategic human capital management across the entire federal government on our high-risk list, and it remains there today. we did so because of the longstanding lack of leadership and in parts because critical skill gaps could undermine agencies' ability to accomplish the missions. with long-term challenges facing the nation, reductions to the civilian work force may be considered to achieve cost savings. human capital has remained in critical missing link in reforming and modernizing the federal government cost of managing practice. g8 el has observed that the federal government has often acted as if people were to be cut rather than assets to be valued. my main message today is that str
