Abstract:
Many college courses teach Voting Theory, including topics like Ranked-Choice Voting and voting criteria failure. Students sometimes ask if these voting anomalies have ever occurred in real-world elections, which is hard to answer because the underlying data is often hidden. In this talk, we pull the curtain back and discuss some interesting recent elections in which voting anomalies have occurred. We will also have this data available for any instructors who want to use it in their classes.
