    Maybe, maybe not.

    There’s a world where it would help immensely as it would prevent people from just blindly party-line voting up and down the ticket and may force people to start actually researching the people they’re voting for.

    But there’s also a world where voters will continue to not care and essentially just make choices at random, causing our entire election system to become a glorified roll of the dice.

    My fear is that reality would lean more towards the latter than the former.

      I think the latter would still be an improvement, though not as much of one as I’d like

        It would lead to too much instability. It would also lead to good politicians getting ousted because they randomly lost re-election.
