Summary
On this episode of the Andrew Yang Podcast, Sam Wang joins Andrew to talk about fixing American democracy. A Princeton neuroscientist and electoral reform researcher, Sam has spent 20 years applying math and data to the problems plaguing our elections, and has now decided to run for Congress himself in New Jersey's 12th district. They dig into what the research shows about open primaries, ranked-choice voting, and gerrymandering reform, and why Sam thinks this race is winnable. Have a question for Andrew?
