I just published an article about the U.S. Presidential election. Here
is the link:
https://democracychronicles.com/wild-election/
The article humorously explains to non-math folks:
-
Vote splitting
-
Vote concentration
-
Single-mark ballots
-
Approval voting
-
What future generations will use, namely 1-2-3 ballots and pairwise
counting
-
How we got the first, and last, black president
-
Why Obama won re-election
-
Why George W. Bush won
-
The full map of politics, including the up and down
-
Why a single-mark ballot is not asking for your first choice
-
Why it's OK to lie when you tell people how you marked your
single-mark ballot
-
And more

Please feel free to convey feedback either here, or on Twitter, or at
Democracy Chronicles (in that order for how often I'll check for comments).
As I see it, this is an excellent opportunity to educate lots of people,
especially in the U.S., about the need for election-method reform.
And an opportunity for the rest of the world to understand what the heck
is going on in the U.S. presidential election.
