What would happen if we chose lawmakers the way we choose juries?
Terry joins Dave Troy on Dave Troy Presents to discuss how his years in elected office led him to question elections themselves, and how citizens chosen by lot could share in making public decisions. They explore real-world citizens’ assemblies, lobbying, and what it would take to build a democracy without politicians.
The conversation closes on a more immediate concern: the 2026 midterms. Terry tells Dave he has confidence in the security of the voting process. What worries him is whether the people voters elect in November will actually be seated in January.
