I've been in favor of sortition over elections for many years. It's really the best way to get the most representative representatives. After all, members are Congress and other high-ranking officials tend to be quite unlike the people they're supposed to represent. They're typically much wealthier, often obscenely wealthy nowadays, and they're also often more politically extreme, due to the way they're selected by their parties in primaries. Indeed, sortition could effectively do away with political parties altogether, which is another great bonus!
