David Budescu is working with a team of researchers to improve the ways crowdsourcing can be used to predict future events.

"For too long, ordinary citizens lacked awareness of the principles affecting redistricting and have been effectively left out of the decennial process. This year our mission is to change all that. It has never been easier to be involved in the redistricting process."
