Senate Elections with Independent Candidates
Assuming strict two-party competition, policy balancing models of the US senate imply that senators from the same state will often be from opposite parties and have great ideological divergence. We analyze the effect of independent candidates on these implications. Our theoretical model implies the two state senators will generally not be from opposite parties and will be closer in ideological ...

متن کاملControlling Elections by Replacing Candidates or Votes
We consider elections where the chair replaces either candidates or votes, with the goal of making a specific candidate win (constructive control) or lose (destructive control). We call this “replacement control” and study its computational complexity for several scoring rules (plurality, veto, Borda, k-approval), as well as for approval voting.
متن کاملPredicting Elections from Biographical Information about Candidates
Traditional election forecasting models are estimated from time-series data on relevant variables and that limits the type and number of variables that can be used. Index models do not suffer from the same restrictions. We used as many as 60 biographical variables to create an index model for forecasting U.S. Presidential Elections. For each candidate, we simply counted the number of variables ...
متن کاملControlling Elections by Replacing Candidates: Theoretical and Experimental Results
We consider elections where the chair may attempt to influence the result by replacing candidates with the intention to make a specific candidate lose (destructive control). We call this form of control “replacement control” and we study its computational complexity. We focus in particular on Plurality and Veto, for which we prove that destructive control via replacing candidates is computation...
