Math and Elections
In the Math and Elections panel discussion, Randall Munroe, Eric S. Raymond, and Garrett Kajmowicz discussed the statistical merits and flaws of existing and proposed voting processes in the United States. Nobody mentioned the Condorcet criterion explicitly, but the tendency of the current single-vote system to produce suboptimal results was discussed. Factors like the effects of the electoral college, traditional political leanings of geographical regions, and even the breeding practices of differing political demographics on the outcome of elections were also covered.
