To win an election, a strongly connected voter network is key, physicists conclude

(Phys.org) —The results of a new study support what many people intuitively know about winning political elections: the party that has a more connected voter network usually receives more votes. However, the study also found that, if the less connected network has even a small fraction of strongly committed voters, these voters have the ability to reverse the election outcome. The study demonstrates how multiple interacting and interdependent networks can be used to model and gain insight into real-world political elections, with the potential to influence future campaign strategies.
