Unrig 2019
Below is Aaron Hamlin's speech about C4ES, that he gave at the "Unrig Summit" on June 19, 2019 on behalf of The Center for Election Science. The summary of the video:
How did Fargo, ND (yes—the Fargo that featured Steve Buscemi in a woodchipper) lead the charge for a more representative democracy? Aaron Hamlin of The Center for Election Science tells the inspiring story of how one citizen's passion and grassroots activism sparked a successful movement to make Fargo the first city in the US to implement approval voting.
The video can be found on YouTube, licensed under the "Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)".[23][24] An outline follows:
