Episode 50: Voting Systems

By New Hampshire Public Radio

When you cast your ballot in a national election, you’re participating in a specific kind of voting system. But what about the other methods of choosing your candidate and counting your vote?

Producer Hannah McCarthy and Eric Maskin , Harvard Professor of Economics and Nobel Memorial Prize winner, guide us through majorities, pluralities and the ways we make our choices.
