God forbid people be able to exercise their fundamental rights without exposing themselves to a deadly disease How would you feel about entering everyone who is registered to vote into a lottery, and then 10% of registered voters are randomly selected as being eligible to vote in each election. The 10% can then go to the polls if they wish, which will not have long lines to deal with because far fewer people are going. Statistically a 10% sample of 200 million people is enough to achieve the same result as having everyone vote in basically all elections.* Unless there are systemic effects. For instance, perhaps turnout is higher among eligible voters because people in the 10% feel a duty to vote since they are representing 9 other people, and because voting is easier without long lines. Bernie might benefit! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
