Tapping higher math to better undertand voting

From Harvey Mudd College

Procedures matter and that includes in the act of voting, researchers say, noting that even though people may not actually change their minds on a given issue, how they are asked about it can sway results. If asked to rank a slate of candidates rather than just picking a single favorite, for example, voters will alter their choices. Examining how such choices occur requires complex math replete with algebraic and geometric means of scrutiny, the researchers found.
