Rationally Speaking #171 - Scott Aaronson on "The ethics and strategy of vote trading"

from Rationally Speaking Podcast · host NYC Skeptics

It can be pretty frustrating to live in a "safe" state during national elections, where the chance your vote will affect the overall results is practically zero. This episode, with professor Scott Aaronson, explores an unorthodox solution to the problem: "swapping" your vote with someone in a swing state who was going to vote for a third party candidate. Scott and Julia explore the game theory of vote swapping, and whether there are any ethical problems with it.
