There would be a neverending stream of sour grapes recalls. How about WE...voters...actually develop sense and responsibility insteadof passing the buck? I mean remember people saying they wanted Avennati for President. Therr are always ALWAYS bad legislators..going back to our early republic.

Voters developing a sense of responsibility is asking so much. If that was going to happen it would've happened. We live in a time where we have nearly ALL information in our hands and we have a vast majority that are STILL politically ignorant. We need to think of other methods.

You realize states determine election laws...hows your plan going to work in that context?..i tremble at the potential recall laws in FL, OK, MI. .etc.Frankly if asking voters to be responsible is "too much"...Democracy is dead.

If you want voters to be responsible, then let's make voting 100% mandatory. Then if people fail to vote, then they incur either jail time or fines. We need healthy deterrents to encourage responsibility after all. Then maybe they'd do more research and we wouldn't need my former suggestion.
