election_methods
In the “election-methods” community, we discuss the nitty-gritty details of single-winner election reform, the relative merits of different proportional representation systems, and the technical underpinnings of all election methods. “election-methods” discussions tend to be technical in nature (or at least, very laden with jargon), with the ultimate goal of providing recommendations and educational material to the electoral reform movement. In-depth discussions about the technical subtleties of alternative election methods are welcome on the “election-methods” community. The mailing list counterpart for this community has existed since 1996, and has been host to years of advocacy of niche methods and well-reasoned critiques of relatively popular alternatives.
