About Sam Wang
This is Fixing Bugs In Democracy, in which I cover democracy, data, and science.
My name is Sam Wang. I’m a working scientist with an interest in using my craft to understand how and why our democracy has gone off track. Data analytics can help in many ways: understanding where we are politically, how we got here - and use those insights to help find a way out of this mess.
The newest project around here is the Electoral Innovation Lab. It’s an independent organization that grew out of recent work at Princeton, including on redistricting (the Princeton Gerrymandering Project) and political campaigns (the Princeton Election Consortium).
