I'm Jameson Quinn, |
I'm Dr. Jameson Quinn, a statistician who works at MIT. I've been involved in voting theory and voting reform activism since before the 2000 US presidential election. I'm on the board of the Equal Vote Coalition [https://www.equal.vote/ www.equal.vote]. I helped the members of the World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) redesign the nomination process for the Hugo Awards, using a specially-designed proportional voting method called E Pluribus Hugo to prevent a minority of voters from taking over the nominations. (That was a 2-year effort; the peer-reviewed paper I wrote about it with Bruce Schneier is [https://www.schneier.com/academic/paperfiles/Proportional_Voting_System.pdf here].) |
