Or we could have more elections, with each focusing on a specific topic. The biggest advantages here are that you only have to vote in elections you care about and that the more we exercise a process the better we get at it. Of course the time burden on voters is greater. Or we could invert a lot of the races. I am college educated but never involved in law, how can I reasonably pick a judge or DA? What I want is my representatives to choose one, and then have a very low threshold for a special election to fire (“recall”) the person if they do a bad job. And only need that because my representatives have shown that they won’t. Any sort of non-in-person voting is a security nightmare. But I am very sympathetic to the people who want to make it easier. I think we should vote on a Saturday or Sunday instead of a weekday, we should make it a federal holiday in order to close as many businesses as possible, and I think that employers who stay open should be required to give paid time off to vote, that doesn’t count against vacation or sick leave.
