Psephological

Postby goodwinnihon » Mon Oct 06, 2014 8:39 pm

was reading an article in the BBC news magazine and stumbled upon a word which meaning i had to search for

"Psephological" - related to elections, or a study of it

... and kind of thought it was goodword-worthy

I love to read the insights of Nate Silver, perhaps the most prominent psephologist of our times, when I get the time:
