An Elegant Solution to Managing an Election
Today's New York Times has an excellent op-ed by William Poundstone, author of Gaming the Vote: Why Elections Aren’t Fair (and What We Can Do About It), due out next month.The op-ed — highly recommended by yours truly — describes a solution devised by Ronald L. Rivest, a computer scientist at MIT, and Warren D. Smith, a mathematician and voting reform advocate, to the burning issue of keeping elections honest. I'm looking forward to reading Poundstone's book.
