Weighted Lottery Voting

A voting system designed to be a more fair way of handling a Representative Government like the one in the United States.

As currently stands, at any given election people vote for the person (or choice) they find preferable. Now, it doesn't matter if 99% of the voting population found this choice preferable or simply 50.000001% found it better, the person with simple majority gets it outright. This is clearly unfair, and weighted lottery voting allows more realistic approach to selecting the people's choice.

First, each person would go to the polls as usual and cast his or her vote. Rather than simply going to a tally, however, each person's vote is given a number. After all the votes are in, all of the numbers are put into a lottery machine of some sort, either manual a'la bingo or computerized, and a single vote is picked out. That person's vote is considered the deciding vote, and that vote is the vote which wins the election.

This way, votes that candidates get STILL matter greatly, but rather than 55% of the votes ensuring victory, it simply ensures a 55% chance of gaining the position.

Even when mediated through an electoral college system, this method of voting would provide the clarity evidently needed (as evinced by the US's past presidential election).

This would also give third parties a much more realistic chance at success, lowering the massive barriers of entry slightly.
