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With nearly half of American voters now calling themselves independents, polarization still dominates the system due to outdated rules.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.
