OK, I'm already sick of this election $#!+ and there's nearly a year of it to go yet. I don't care if it's federal, state, county or local, this idea covers them all. First off, no one should WANT to be in politics, I say treat it as a duty (like a draft) that rewards no one involved, except to serve their time and get the hell home. Existing Constitutional rules would apply such as citizenship, age, etc.
Some more rules:
1. 18+ years only.
2. Minimum high school education.
3. Must speak English.
4. No past involvement in politics.
5. Probably more that I'm too lazy to type.
So now all you do is draw random SS#s to pick the selectees (of course regionally appropriate).
Can't be any worse than what we've had in my lifetime.
Feel free to add suggestions.
