The irony is that the US electoral system is anything but a "one person, one vote" system. A vote in California is very different to a vote in Utah for example.

So if we change the idea of "one person, one vote" to "one vote, one dollar", we not only rid ourselves of the problem of elections (sorting bad candidates) we effectively turn elections into budget resolutions. Quadratic voting to pick candidates seems like the wrong idea. Using it to pick budget spend in place of elected budget directors is what it was invented to do.
