    has this concept in mind for years, glad to learn it has a name.

    basically jury duty instead of ejected officials

    when their term is over they have to go back to live under the laws/policies they voted, so it’s in their interests not to fuck up.

    I think this model is really under utilized. Sortition for policing. Sortition for doing the dishes. Sortition for airport security checks, policy, and officers. Sortition for evaluating corporate compliance. Shareholder sortition for the c-suite.

    Random ballot is also a better model for voting imo; the model where it’s actually worth your time to vote, checks and balances get maintained, and so many rigging strategies necessarily backfire with regularity.

    state outright that being allotted is more democratic than elections (which were seen as oligarchic)

    Actually this makes a lot of sense
