About Political Math


Hello and welcome to Political Math.
Political commentary and opinion abound on the internet. Political Math is different. You will find commentary and opinion here, but also you will find a focus on the numbers behind the stories. In other words, the math of politics. PAC donations, voter turnout, exit polls, the margin of error, Congress and the Senate: There is so much to know about! This is our government and the political system we live with. How does it work? Who greases the wheels? How skewed are the decisions political bodies make from the makeup of the political bodies themselves?

So put on your math hat. Doesn't matter if you are Republican or Democrat; independent; liberal; conservative or green; or anything else in between. This is a multi-partisan site. Mathematically speaking, no weighting factor is applied to any party or persuasion. All are treated with compliments, with candor, and with criticism.
