Searching for “distribution by lot” (with quotes) using Google returns Equality-by-Lot as the 4th result (out of “about 57,100 results”). Searching for “sortition” returns Equality-by-Lot as the 2nd result (out of “about 80,700 results”) – right behind the sortition entry at Wikipedia.

Happy holidays and a happy new year to Equality-by-Lot readers, commenters and posters. Keep up the good fight for democracy!

Congrats Yoram! I jumped in the train recently but pioneers like you seems essential to expand the use of sortition in our institutions.

Thanks and welcome on board, Romain! I think we are still in the early stages of this voyage. There is a long way to cover together.

You mention 67 Facebook followers but I can’t find your page and I don’t see a link to your page on your website?

Hi Kevin,

I am not really sure about the connection to Facebook. I think Conall set it up. I think the blog is connected to the page of the Kleroterians. I don’t have administration privileges for that page. The number of Facebook followers of the blog is presented to me by the WordPress system.

I think Peter Stone runs the Kleroterians Facebook page… or at least he is the main poster to that site.
