When I vote for a representative in the current system, their political sway only matters if they gained a majority
Consider instead where everyone in the running got through, only their votes were multiplied by the number of votes they received. Suddenly there's a much higher value to high voter turnout (because winning by a large landslide matters for voting against opposition from opposing landslides, & one doesn't need the majority of votes for their vote to have weight)
Aside, the idea of selling your vote is explored in Philip K Dick's Solar Lottery
