[Philadelphia-pm] Wednesday, the 25th |
Hi Folks, So -- on Wednesday, September 25th, John will give a talk about Vote::Count. The details are on http://phl.pm.org and here -- Who: John Karr Where: Industrious -- 230 S Broad, 17th-18th floor When: September 25th, 6pm What: Vote::Count Counting Better Voting Methods. The Ancient Greeks used Pebbles to count Ballots, today we use computers to count ballots, but the method of counting them is the same, and throwing Pebbles into Urns is more secure than many of our voting machines. Vote For One, Most Votes Wins only works well when there are only two choices. With Ranked Ballots Voters can express a list of preferences. Vote::Count is a Perl library for tabulating Election Results with Ranked and Range Ballots. I'll send something out again closer to the date. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
