I think sortition is a great idea but you would probably need a constitutional amendment if you wanted sortition in Congress or the Senate. I think the State's have some discretion over how elections are run but I don't think its

in the cloud you should be able to turnkey this quite easily. i think in a DC this can be a bit more tricky because you will still be getting traffic from the DOS to your network interface after you have flipped the switch to cloudflare. Th

databases also solve this problem by allowing the read only transaction to see a consistent snapshot of the data at some point in time. so the reader can do its work without needing a logical mutex.
