NewScientist Magazine Article on Vote Theory Misleading and Damaging

By InfoHedon on | From infohedon.blogspot.com

The piece linked communicates numerous misunderstandings of both vote theory as well as political systems. I directly communicated with the author who explained to me that it is difficult to convey these principles to a readership with an assumed limited math background. There is also limited space.

But Wednesday morning I jolted awake at 8:15am ready to vote. I was pumped, excited and patting myself on the back. I felt like...Read Full Story
