One of the best, most well written articles I have read on election reform. Birngs to light many excellent ideas and theories on how to improve the way we vote.

Great report that the country needs to take to heart. Not just general elections, but primaries should use a system like the one proposed - in fact if the general elections did this we might not need primaries.

This is one of the best written stories I have seen about voting methods. Good set of links for those who want the detailed math. Covers almost all of the well known voting methods. Not many sources because this is a book review, although there IS a source for the whole story.

This article gives voice to the important plurality voting problem which allows spoilers and discourages minority parties. The story enshrouds itself a bit too much in the math theory aspects, rather than linking in a simple explanation. A system that encourages minorities (greens, libertarians, socialists) to vote for minority parties without throwing away their vote would encourage voter participation and enrich the democratic discourse in politics. I favor the instant runoff voting option mentioned, despite it's small probability of not always being a full optimal strategy. It is simple, and a great improvement. See http://www.chrisgates.net/irv/ for a demo.

Interesting look at the counting of votes in US elections, with a truly novel suggestion of improvement. This subject needs wider scrutiny. This mild, referenced look is a good start at looking at chances and choices.

Interesting introduction about better ways to measure political preferences, and by extension, to improve democracy. The glib title belies the seriousness of the ideas explored in the article. Worth a read.
