Voting Paradoxes: How Does An Unpopular Politician Get Elected To Office?

Taught by Professor David Kung, Ph.D.

Think voting systems are convoluted, confusing, and easilly manipulated? That’s just the beginning.

In this full lecture, Professor David Kung, Ph.D. delves into the voting paradoxes that arise in elections at national, state, and even club levels. You’ll also study Kenneth Arrow’s Nobel prize-winning impossibility theorem, and assess the U.S. Electoral College system, which is especially prone to counter intuitive results.
