I think the real problem is that the current voting system introduces a selection bias in favor of irrational people who cannot correctly analyze a simple problem.

Anyone who takes time out of their day to go vote (unless they're 18 and think it's cool, or they're a politican and the media is watching them) is wrong. EV = probability of making a change x value of a change. The tangible value of being the deciding vote is not overwhelmingly huge ($100,000 is a high upper bound, unless you're super-rich and expecting a big tax cut or something along those lines). Probability is vanishingly tiny, well over a million : 1. So:

a) all voters are irrational; or
b) the ones who aren't are voting primarily for self-validation or enjoyment.

Neither group is one that should be running the country. Instead, voting should be like jury duty. 10% called out every election and required to attend a 2-hour issues class, take a test (small fines for failure), then vote. Much better system.
