This is our entry into the Math and Voting Awareness contest.

We had a lot of fun making this and did our best to convey a message about math and voting with humor.

The idea was that a college is using a preferential voting method where the voters could rank the five nominess from first to last.

The methods of voting talked about are:
Plurality
Plurality with Run Off
Plurality with Sequential Elimination
The Copeland Method
and The Borda Count

  • Lmao Aventura in the background..

  • I DID & correct: So I searched You-Tube with "Preferential Voting" and got several videos from, of course, Australia. And this video is the best from north America,of course! The video is, of course, trivial, but my problem is that the subject is not and I conclude that the only way the U.S.A. will change is via non-democratic means, which, of course, will never overcome the entrenched 1st past the post voting system. So lets forget about the U.S.A. as they forever re-live the OK Corral!

  • First of all to save time from listing all of my numerous criticisms about this video, 9:44 you should be instantly disqualified. I believe the limit is 3 mins. for this contest.
