NY Times - 'Elections are bad for democracy' Pieces published by both The New York Times and The Atlantic on Monday argued that America’s current election process is problematic and should be altered. The New York Times piece, a guest essay originally titled "Elections Are Bad for Democracy," by contributing opinion writer Adam Grant, went so far as to argue that American’s voting system should be replaced by a system of randomly choosing political leaders by lottery. The Times removed the original headline for the piece and replaced it with "The Worst People Run for Office. It's Time for a Better Way." The Times guest essay proposed getting rid of voting altogether. Grant wrote, "On the eve of the first debate of the 2024 presidential race, trust in government is rivaling historic lows. Officials have been working hard to safeguard elections and assure citizens of their integrity. But if we want public office to have integrity, we might be better off eliminating elections altogether." foxnews.com nytimes.com ---------------------------------- Message 34392396
