數學能夠幫忙修補民主制度嗎？

數學能否使美國民主更能回應人民需求？從檢測不公正的選區到預測排名選擇投票制等替代選舉方法的影響，神經科學家山姆·王概述了電腦模擬如何幫助修補美國民主中的漏洞，並使其走上修復之路。

Mathematical models and computer simulations can reveal the hidden flaws that destabilize democracy and even help fix them. With nearly half of American voters now calling themselves independents, polarization still dominates the system due to outdated rules. Simulations show that some reforms, like introducing a third party, can backfire, while others—such as ranked-choice voting and redistricting—can double the number of competitive districts. By testing reforms before enacting them, math can act as a GPS, guiding democracy through perilous times.
