You do voting when you click on Google search results\, and you use voting results when you view the star rating of an Amazon product. Now learn how voting really works\, how it is usually miscalculated -- inten tionally 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 th at connect politicians to the biggest campaign contributors. (Partial s poiler: The biggest unfairness is hidden in primary elections.) Also le arn the math that eventually will cut those puppet strings.
