    Just because it was misused before doesn’t mean it’s an unworkable idea. Would it really make things worse than the mess we have now?

    Say, for example, you needed the support of a supermajority (67% or 75%) of the population to approve a test.

    There are lots of potential flaws with the system, and lots of “attack vectors”. But, you don’t need to come up with a test that’s perfect, just one that improves the current situation, which is pretty dire.
