Teaching about voting

As the 2018 midterm election approaches, there are many opportunities to engage students in critical issues through mathematics. This blog focuses on specific social justice issues related to voting. We are sharing resources that teachers can use to create lessons. If you are inspired by the information below and develop a lesson, we encourage you to share it with us through the TODOS BLOG, so that other teachers can also implement/adapt your lesson.

The blog starts by focusing on the historic link between democracy and voting and challenges that have emerged over time. The second section of the blog provides resources around a number of currentissues related to policies that tend to restrict voting rights, such as: Inequitable voting requirements across states and people's status, closure of voting polls, felony disenfranchisement, and gerrymandering. The third section of the blog is dedicated to mathematics lessons on voting. There are some examples with links to previous mathematics lessons on voting. The use of Modeling in a lesson as a mathematical practice is presented as a link between issues of voting and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
1. 2. 3. 1. Voting, Democracy, & People's Voices Mathematics Lessons & Voting 1. a. Why elections and voting are important? 1.b. History of Elections Mathematics, Policy, & Voting Voting, Democracy, & People's Voices 2. Mathematics, Policy and Voting
The idea of voting comes from a democratic perspective and practice in which peace is maintained and collective social and political issues are resolved through collective input. What people voice becomes the guide of steps and actions to be implemented. Despite these equity-oriented goals, processes in promoting and sustaining democratic processes are not always equitable thus undermining the integrity of a process called 'democratic'. The links provided below elaborate on elections, democracy, and and connections between democracy and voting.
2.a. Inequitable Voting requirements across states and people's status
-What are the Presidential elections?

-Forecast for 2020 elections

Mathematics is a tool that can help us assess not only the results of voting in an election process. Mathematics can also help us assess the entire process even before elections take place. For example, who can or is allowed to vote? Where can you vote? Is accessible?

There has been a resurgence of state and local measures to disenfranchise voters of color. Inequitable voting requirements, such as requiring identification at voting polls, is only one form of voter suppression. Thirty-four states have introduced legislations that would require voters to show some form of photo identification in order to vote. The purpose and effect of these restrictive voting laws is to suppress the vote of certain groups of people, including people of color, making voting rights a social justice issue.

2.b. Closure of voting polls

The Voting Rights Act was established 53 years ago aimed to protect voters against discrimination. In 2013, Shelby County v. Holder put into jeopardy voter protections by eliminating Section 5, which required jurisdictions with a history of voter discrimination to demonstrate that cost savings from polling site closures wouldn't disadvantage voters of color. As a result, there has been a widespread effort to close polling sites, many located in areas primarily serving people of color. A national study reported that out of the 381 counties studied, 165 of them - 43% have reduced voting locations. For example, in Arizona alone, there have been 212 poll closures since Shelby. In general, there has been a shift to close polling places on a massive scale across the nation, indicating a movement to suppress people's right to vote.
2.c. Felony disenfranchisement
-Suppressing the Black Vote

-Poll Closures - The Effects of Shelby County v. Holder
3. Mathematics Lessons & Voting
-Voter Suppression Across the Nation
3.b. Mathematical modeling and some examples
Felony disenfranchisement refers to the eligibility to of the exclusion of people from voting. This status relates to conviction of a criminal offense, such as: crimes of incarceration for a duration of more than a year, or felony. This status can be permanent or restored after completing a sentence, or probation (Wikipedia).
3.c. Previous work in mathematics education related to voting
Gerrymandering is a political practice that establishes an advantage to a particular party or group by manipulating the boundaries of a district. The defined district is known as a gerrymander. According to Wikipedia, Gerrymandering uses: "cracking" (i.e. diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across many districts) and "packing" (concentrating the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts).

Mathematical modeling provides students with opportunities to analyze and understand the world around them by providing insight into real-world phenomena. The practice of mathematical modeling provides students with opportunities to mathematize the world around them, a practice supported and encouraged by the Common Core Standards. Modeling can be used as a powerful tool in identifying and finding solutions to practical issues such as those related to social justice, including the many issues surrounding voting and marginalized groups. Such approach has been called, Critical Mathematics Education. For example, a mathematical model can help students mathematize poll closures across the nation while simultaneously looking at the effects these poll closures have on specific groups' voting rights. While we provide some resources below that touch on modeling and work in mathematics education related to voting, at the end we invite you to share your lessons and resources with us!

Modeling is of the mathematical practices promoted by the Common
Core State Standards for Mathematics and NCTM. This mathematics education approach helps students understand the relevance and applications of mathematical ideas as well as how many everyday activities are mathematical in nature. Links below describe in more details what modelling is and some examples of how this relates to the mathematics standards in education.

This section provides some resources useful for teachers interested in promoting the mathematics practice of modeling. These resources include examples of modeling and how this approach can be implemented in the classroom.

Finally, this section describes previous work in mathematics education specifically related to voting. While not all lessons are specific to mathematics, the ideas relate to teaching and they can be used to mathematize aspects related to voting.

NOW, it is your turn. We encourage you to get inspired and develop your own lesson plans and activities and share it with us. We will later on include a blog on lessons related to this blog. Please contact and send us what you develop at: [email protected]

We need to mobilize millions to ensure the highest turnout ever!

We know that if people of color and specifically black voters participated in elections at the same rate as white voters have we would have a progressive majority. Black voters are skeptical of the political establishment, unhappy with candidate choices, frustrated with structural and institutional racism, slow job growth, no wage growth, the rising costs of health care, the rising cost of college and the rising cost of housing, and disturbed about police violence. We can address many of these issues by electing the right individuals and passing the right legislation.

Just in time for Election Day, a new study by a team of mathematicians has examined how large social networks, such as blocs of U.S. voters, navigate making tough decisions-especially when time is of the essence.

The team, which includes Zachary Kilpatrick from the University of Colorado Boulder, has discovered that a mix of decision-making strategies might be the secret to success: Groups that are made up of both hasty and more deliberative choosers, he said, seem to have the best odds of coming to the right conclusions.

"We wanted to look at how you can tune a group to have a good amount of these hasty decision-makers so that they're providing a bump of information to the group, but not so much that they're ruling the decisions of everyone else," said Kilpatrick, an associate professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at CU Boulder.

Not everyone, in other words, makes decisions at the same speed-and that might be a good thing. People who make decisions quickly could give their more sluggish peers the nudge they need to pick an option. Too many hasty decision makers, however, might drive communities to make the wrong choices.

Kilpatrick noted that the research, which will be pubished shortly in the journal Physical Review Letters, doesn't delve into the behavior of actual voters. Instead, it tackles a mathematical concept called "rational agents"-hypothetical figures that always make the right selection based on the evidence they have on hand.

But, he said, scientists can still learn a lot by examining how these more idealized predictions line up-or don't-with the decisions of flesh-and-blood humans.

"If people are grossly deviating from this optimal behavior, which they can, then we can learn something about what biases they have," Kilpatrick said.

Gathering evidence

In his latest study, Kilpatrick and his colleagues explored those kinds of decision-making processes by creating what was, essentially, an election-year environment-except this one was entirely captured in mathematical equations.

Using numerical simulations, the team set up scenarios under which groups of rational agents, which ranged in size from 100 agents to nearly 100,000, had to pick between two options. As the simulations progressed, the agents received data that pushed them toward one choice or another-think of it like getting information by watching a presidential debate or reading the day's news.

"We have a continuous update, almost like a stock ticker, of their bias in favor of one choice or another," Kilpatrick said. "They only make a decision when that stock ticker hits an upper bound or a lower bound."

There was just one twist: Like voters, Kilpatrick's agents did not all have the same threshold for making a choice. Some of them didn't require a lot of information before landing on the option they preferred. Others needed to take their time and weigh a lot more evidence before deciding.

The right balance

The balance between those two kinds of decision-making strategies seemed to make a big difference, Kilpatrick said.

Pretend your own social network contains a lot of hasty deciders. These seat-of-their-pants people are decisive, but that decisiveness can lead them, and the people who listen to them, into jumping into wrong choices. With too few hasty decision makers, however, the members of a group can get mired in indecision-failing to make any kind of choice at all.

"The hasty decision-makers are sniffing out the environment, and they pass that information on to the more deliberate decision makers," Kilpatrick said.

Still, he added, a few rash people can go a long way. The team calculated that networks that contain roughly 2 to 3% hasty decision makers were the most effective: These groups consistently made the best majority decisions in the least amount of time.

"We were surprised that you only needed a small group of hasty decision makers to maximize this process of making decisions as a group," Kilpatrick said.

He sees a lesson in his study for U.S. voters agonizing over their own upcoming choices. In other words, you always want to be wary of how or where the people in your social group are getting their information.

"There's a lot of novices out there posting things on social media and they have not used a lot of evidence to come to their conclusions," Kilpatrick said. "People who listen to them value them as experts, and it can really cloud the decision making of a group."
Bhargav Karamched of Florida State University is the lead author of the new study. Coauthors include Krešimir Josić, William Ott and Megan Stickler of the University of Houston and Benjamin Lindner of Humboldt University in Germany.

About a month ago, on an early Monday morning, Jose De la Cruz-Espinosa was parked in front of his Milwaukee home with his wife and three daughters, ages 14, 13, and 11. The family was getting ready to go to school when their car was suddenly surrounded by immigration agents and police.

The officers didn't have a warrant and De la Cruz-Espinosa wouldn't let them into the car. But they reached through an open window, unlocked the door, and tore him away from his family. In video of the arrest, you can hear his daughters crying out for him.

"My daughters don't understand any of this, and it hurts me so much when I think of them in the car screaming for their daddy, unable to hug him goodbye, as he was taken from our lives," said his wife, Kristine De la Cruz, who is a U.S. citizen. "My daughter had a breakdown in school yesterday. How are they supposed to process the trauma of our family being separated?"

This horror is an everyday reality in Trump's America - and it's only one of the many tentacles of his disastrous presidency.

Trump's racism, misogyny, and hatred have fueled an extreme right-wing agenda where the truth is fake news, climate change is a hoax, immigrants and refugees are rapists and murderers, lies and corruption are commonplace, and deadly white nationalist violence and rhetoric have been normalized.

It is with sadness and anger, and without a shred of hyperbole, that we acknowledge that inside and outside of our classrooms we are fighting for our lives, for our families, for our neighbors, and for our futures. Defeating Trump and the emboldened right in the 2020 election is an essential task for social justice educators everywhere.

At the same time, we should have no illusions about our undemocratic elections, which are, more often than not, carnivals of distraction and disenfranchisement. With rampant voter suppression, a two-party chokehold, corporate media bias, bottomless pits of campaign cash, extreme gerrymandering, and an electoral college system that doesn't even guarantee that the person who gets the most votes wins, our presidential elections are most often orchestrated ratifications of existing power rather than exercises in self-governance or expressions of popular will.

But there is also hope in this moment, and we must rise together to seize it - at the ballot box, on the picket line, in our communities, and in the streets - to defeat the march of fascism and white nationalism that Trump and his supporting cast of sycophants, enablers, and Republicans have encouraged.

Through work in our unions, in our community organizations, and through social movements, we can and must inject democratic and anti-racist goals into an electoral process designed to marginalize and exclude those without power. And we must contest for that power by supporting progressive candidates everywhere - whether they are running for school boards, state legislatures, or seats in Congress - who build bridges between electoral campaigns and the social movements that give them real capacity to make meaningful change.

This presidential election arrives at the crossroads of dramatically different political futures: two roads before us that can either take us as a country further down the road of division and hatred, or have us shift course radically to a hopeful vision of the future.

The first path is the terrifying possibility that Trump is reelected and the far-right movement he has empowered continues to grow.

Trump's disastrous reign has exposed the weaknesses of the "checks and balances" and hallowed "democratic" institutions mythologized in school textbooks. One example, among many, is how Trump has packed the federal judiciary with reactionary white men who refuse to support Brown v. Board of Education. We will struggle with the consequences for decades. And while we would welcome Trump's swift removal from office, neither impeachment nor a presidential campaign will repair these fundamental weaknesses. They remain urgent reasons we cannot leave the system to its own designs.

We must intervene with an overwhelming popular mobilization that can impose its will on institutions that have repeatedly failed us and effectively paved the way to Trump.

Such a popular mobilization is the key to opening the door to the second path in the political crossroads before us, one where the election of progressive leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib connects electoral politics to growing social movements that have the potential to reshape the political landscape for education and beyond.

In the current presidential campaign, that second political road is represented by the insurgent success of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and the real possibility that the next president of the United States can herald a progressive awakening. And while there are important differences between the two candidates that should be discussed and debated as the primary race continues, they both represent a very different alternative in the Oval Office than any other in recent memory.

We should have no illusions that a Sanders or Warren victory alone will secure the changes we need to avoid catastrophe. While we urgently want to see Republicans suffer a crushing defeat in 2020, the most hopeful resistance to Trump and the wave of reaction he represents has been and will continue to be the central role that mass mobilizations, social movements, and protests have played in building solidarity across struggles and holding out hope that another world is possible.

From the Women's March to the airport protests, the Fight for $15 to Medicare for All, heroic efforts to expose and reverse Trump's war on immigrant families and communities of color to Black Lives Matter and the struggle against white supremacy, and youth-led mobilizations against gun violence and for climate justice, popular resistance under Trump and the building of social movements have kept alive the most hopeful legacies of U.S. history.

These social movements are also providing the grassroots energy behind the growing number of successful local and congressional campaigns that represent a real shift to the left and have laid the groundwork for the possibility of a successful Sanders or Warren presidential campaign. For the first time in many years, the views of millions who have been systematically excluded from mainstream media and political life are finding some voice and representation in national political debate.

The wave of teacher strikes and protests is another critical part of these mobilizations and the rise of a progressive political alternative. Nearly 400,000 teachers and education workers walked off the job last year and, as Eric Blanc writes in Red State Revolt: The Teachers' Strike Wave and Working-Class Politics, "underscored the immense potential for mass working-class politics." It's no wonder that the occupation topping the list of Sanders donors is teachers.

This wave of strikes and the growing resistance to school privatization by educators and community organizations has transformed the landscape of debate within the Democratic Party over education "reform." Democratic candidates have become so fearful of being seen as soft on charters and privatization that they're rethinking their entire education platforms and public discourse about it.

For example, Cory Booker, who at the 2008 Democratic Party convention in Denver, heralded the arrival of the newly formed "Democrats for Education Reform," which previewed the pro-charter, pro-testing, teacher-bashing policies of the Obama/Biden administration, has been forced to distance himself from his own past.

During an endorsement interview with the Working Families Party, Ingrid Walker-Henry of the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association asked Booker: "You've been a staunch supporter of voucher and charter schools that's systematically siphoning public tax dollars, funding, and resources from public schools. You served with Betsy DeVos on the board of the Alliance for School Choice. . . . Will you say you've been wrong? And renounce your public support for charters?"

Booker, who as the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, worked with Republican Governor Chris Christie to make the city "the charter capital of the nation," spent the next six minutes telling Walker-Henry how much he supports public schools and how different he is from DeVos.

Teachers know more than most the consequences of bipartisan centrist corporate politics. Going back to the election of George W. Bush in 2000 and the bipartisan passage of the now-infamous No Child Left Behind Act, teachers have seen bipartisan centrist reform usher in more than a decade of test-driven privatization of our underfunded public schools.
NCLB was not only a tremendous failure that did extreme damage to public education, it also set the stage for corporate reform to make deeper inroads into the Democratic Party.

When Obama was elected, public education advocates hoped to see a transformation of federal education policy, but his appointment of Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and the administration's commitment to the test-driven privatization of Race to the Top ended with disastrous effects and served as an important reminder that corporate Democrats can threaten the survival of public education as readily as Republicans.

More than two decades of this bipartisan, corporate "reform" and the massive underfunding and erosion of public education left teachers and their unions battered and demoralized. Such corrupt corporate centrism is represented in this presidential campaign season by Joe Biden, who if nominated could pave the way for Trump's reelection in similar fashion to Hillary Clinton's corrupt centrism in 2016.

People - especially educators - are hungry for real alternatives. In recent years, teachers, parents, and students have fought back in profound and transformative ways that have the potential to create a powerful movement to transform our schools and build deep solidarity across issues and movements. And a real alternative could lead to profound changes for our schools and communities.

An administration that is good for our public schools and communities could enact progressive policies both specific to education - for example, a moratorium on federal aid for charter schools and an end to using publicly funded vouchers and tax credit schemes for private schools - as well as broader progressive measures like the legalization of all public workers to strike, and a federal jobs program and deep investment in national infrastructure to not only repair and rebuild the nation's crumbling schools, but to also transform them into green, sustainable buildings and playgrounds and keep them in good shape.

An administration that is good for our public schools and communities could increase civil rights protections for our most vulnerable students, including transgender students and immigrants and refugees, significantly raise teacher pay, and fully fund special education and universal pre-K, starting with 3-year-olds. It would use federal funds to leverage dramatic changes in inequitable state funding systems while also moving massive sums of resources away from the military to human needs. It also would renew national efforts to dismantle the poverty and segregation that remain the central problems in public education.

Despite all the undeniable reasons for despair and outrage in the Trump era, it's also possible to see the outlines of the path to a better future. As this editorial is being written, the United Auto Workers and the Chicago Teachers Union are mounting game-changing labor struggles, a youth-led climate justice movement has injected urgency into our biggest global challenge, powerful movements for women's and LBGTQ+ rights are permanent fixtures of U.S. political life, explicit challenges to the legacy of white supremacy are contesting everything from the statues in our parks to the prison-industrial complex to our electoral system. Progressive options that were once declared off-limits now set the terms of campaign debates.Ê

The central tasks of the 2020 campaign are to defeat Trump and to strengthen the impact of grassroots social movements on the U.S. political system. If we pursue these goals with energy, hope, and passion, we will win a chance to build the world our students deserve.

"The projections are sobering and troubling to everyone who cares about increasing participation in our great democracy. Our prediction is that 40 million Americans who voted in 2016 won't cast a ballot in the 2018 midterms - and to make matters worse, 2/3 of those drop-off voters will be members of the Rising American Electorate."

Research from The Voter Participation Data Center / Learn More

We've already run successful voter-turnout experiments in Wisconsin and Michigan. Our plan is to use text messages, direct-mail, and digital ads to meet people where they are and remind them that their participation in the electoral process is imperative for our democracy. We believe when we all vote, we all win!

Voting is a right many Americans fought for and shouldn't be taken for granted. Not exercising the right to vote prevents vital voices from being heard and has consequences for our country.

It's so exciting to see record-turnout among women, young people, African Americans, and Hispanics, but there is still more work to do.
