what if as a third party candidate we had “randomly selected eligible citizen” on the ballot?
would that beat RFK Jr etc? from which major party candidate would it pull more? might it win?
@interfluidity Would the random selection be made before the votes, or only if the slot won?
@LouisIngenthron (obviously you’d need a credible, incorruptible, source of randomness, but that turns out to be a surprisingly tractable problem)
@interfluidity I don't think it would ever gain traction then.
"Better the devil you know" and all that.
@LouisIngenthron only if the slot won.
