Dear John,

Americansare pessimisticabout the state of our democracy. Just 28% are satisfied
with how democracy is working, and a majority say Congress fails to recognize
the views of people like them.

We’re used to parsing poll numbers like these… but can math also point the way
to better elections and governance? I’ll discuss that question with Professor
Ismar Volić in our nextspecial webinaron Thursday, May 16 at 2 pm eastern!

Volić is a professor of mathematics at Wellesley College, and author of the new
bookMaking Democracy Count: How Mathematics Improves Voting, Electoral Maps, and
Representation. This clear and thought-provoking book introduces a mathematical
framework for thinking about our elections – from how we elect our
representatives, to how many representatives we should have, to how we draw our
districts.

Professor Volić translates mathematical concepts so every reader can understand
them, and thoughtfully walks us through his analyses and conclusions.

I’m thrilled to be having this conversation, and I hope you can join us on May
16.Come nerd out with me!

Sincerely,
Deb Otis
FairVote Director of Research and Policy
