Humblebrag, minus the humble part: I am coorganizing this event and still can't believe we managed to assemble such a stellar panel.
See you in Edinburgh!

My talk on applying topological methods to social choice theory at the GEOMAT-A conference in Mérida, Mexico. I've had fun bringing topology and geometry to politics.

All sensible recommendations. I'd just add multimember districts and proportional representation.

Any time @Inst_Math_Dem organizes an event, students are fired up about implementing #RankedChoiceVoting, eliminating the #ElectoralCollege, instituting #ProportionalRepresentation, and ending #Gerrymandering.

An event organized by @Inst_Math_Dem on quantitative aspects of issues we are sure to hear lots about over the coming year. Live and livestreamed on YouTube.

Following the U.S. presidential election ballot leads to lots of interesting math. For more, visit @Inst_Math_Dem.

Plurality voting is not expressive enough, and it is mathematically unsound. You can learn more about the shortcomings of plurality voting and more mathematically fair alternatives in @Inst_Math_Dem's Voting & Elections trivia: tinyurl.com/imdtrivia

SCOTUS' rejection of the ISL theory (although calling it a "theory" is a stretch) makes gerrymandering harder, but the only real solution is multi-member districts.

This is on officials who implemented #RankedChoiceVoting . Any time people are properly educated on RCV's benefits, they agree that it's far superior to plurality.

Fair elections require a level playing field, but our pick-one voting system tilts if more than two run. #RankedChoiceVoting gives us choice with fairness.

My latest piece about a simple math reason why Trump will likely become the Republican nominee and why this will likely misrepresent the will of the Republican voters.
