DESCRIPTION: speaker:  Richard Fobes&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe new CPAN module n
 amed Voting::VoteFairRanking yields higher levels of voting fairness. Yo
 u do voting when you click on Google results\, and you use voting result
 s when you view the star rating of an Amazon product. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nNo
 w learn how voting really works\, how it is usually miscalculated – inte
 ntionally in the case of elections – and how it can be done to fully ext
 ract the wisdom in a group. Learn the math behind the puppet strings tha
 t connect politicians (of both parties) to the biggest campaign contribu
 tors. (Partial spoiler: The biggest unfairness is hidden in primary elec
 tions.) Also learn the math that eventually will cut those puppet string
 s. Along the way you will learn that there are different kinds of popula
 rity.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAs usual\, the meeting will be followed by social h
 our at the Lucky Lab.\n\nTags: perl\, elections\, pdx.pm\, voting\n\nImp
