Harriet the Fall

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

It really surprises me that I haven’t heard this before. The news is old so I’m probably not being original, but I thought it was worth posting.

I’m presenting a poster based on my thesis work with Dr. Alongi at the Sigma Xi Annual Meeting & Student Research Conference. The poster title is “Unfair Representation in the Electoral College: A Probabilistic Analysis.” Here’s the abstract:
