I don't remember who said it, but I loved the idea of an extra option on the ballot for a redo. If it gets a big enough percentage, you redo the election with new candidates and the old ones can't be candidates ever again.

The problem is that AI detection is far closer to 0% than 100%,. It's really bad and the very nature of this tech makes it impossible to be good.
