Good piece. I would like to see a lottery system to find candidates and then let the current election system take over. This would allow people who would accept the responsibility and duty of public office without being stuck with people seeking power.

I’ve long thought something like this (or actual conscription for a term) should be the process to fill the House of Representatives, leaving the Senate as is. Balancing people and power. (Or, at the very least, spreading the graft cash)

Yes. I think there would need to be a large pool to start with, so the voters can weed out the idiots and grifters.
