Voting & Social Choice
In this module we will look at how different voting schemes can elect different candidates. We will examine five different voting schemes:
- Plurality method
- Plurality with runoff
- Sequential runoff
- Borda count
- Condorcet method
We will also look at how things may be divided up in a 'fair' way.
