John Koza
John R. Koza is a
scratch card' with the help of retail promotions specialist Daniel Bower.[1]
Koza was born in 1944 and earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Michigan, being the second person to ever earn a bachelor's degree in computer science. He earned a doctoral degree in computer science from the University of Michigan in 1972.[2]
Koza was featured in
US Patent Office.[citation needed
]
In the political space, Koza advocates for a plan to revamp the way states choose their electors for the
Electoral College in the United States, such that candidates who win the majority of the popular vote would then win a majority of the electors through an interstate compact.[3] He established the organization National Popular Vote Inc. to advocate for state adoption of the policy and the election of supportive candidates.[4]
