alpharaposaI find the study discussed in this article interesting: http://www.nationalreview.com/agenda/330886/upside-polarization-reihan-salam
Basically, there is an issue in that a certain part of the population does not vote correctly. That is, if they support X and X is important to them, they end up voting for Y instead for one reason or another. The study examines what can be done to raise the percentage of votes cast correctly, to maximize how many people vote for a candidate that actually supports what they believe.
