Forget the elections, this will solve everything. Cancel all of the elections.

Have a lottery for each office. Ticket prices:

$100 for POTUS
$ 50 for VP
$ 40 for Senate Seats
$ 30 for Congress

The drawback would be that the people in office paid to be there, but that's the way it works now anyway. The income could pay off the national debt and the random sampling of people would do a far better job then the current Government.

It might even catch on in other countries, just like many of our other dumb ideas like fractional reserve and derivtives.
