EMMA

Election Method Mathematics Application

EMMA simulates elections using different voting methods to quantitatively compare different election methods using the “Bayesian Regret” methodology.

The application is inspired by Warren D. Smith's IEVS (Infinitely Extendible Election Simulator). Initially, I had forked Warren's project to help try to make the code more readable and to verify election method simulations were implemented correctly. Over time, I found Myself more and more confused by the structure of the code to the point I felt compelled to attempt to re-write at least key parts of the application from scratch, a statement which should by no means be taken as a reflection on Warren, IEVS, or any other thing or Individual; it is simply the way My head works.
