I went back to some of the practical examples from the book and here are some quotes:

Let's start with a small community of 50 people, such as a
church, club, or representatives of each of the 50 States. This
group would host an event at a local community event center
or their fellowship hall and set up 13 tables of 4. Once everyone shows up the host will bring a deck of playing cards up to
the stage and give everyone an opportunity to shuffle the deck
in front of everyone else. Then everyone will go through a line
and receive a card. Each table will map to a card rank (Ace, 2,
3 …). Upon receiving a card people go to the table that matches their card.
Once everyone is at their tables a discussion can begin during which individuals negotiate to determine who can best
represent their table. Once an individual is identified they are
given the playing cards. An individual must get at least three
of four cards to represent the table.
Once all tables are complete there are up to 13 representatives each with at least 3 playing cards. At this point the representatives can carry on a discussion in front of the whole
community (on a stage) to pick a leader. The leader must have
at least 9 of 13 votes (2/3 + 1). In the event no super majority
can be reached the process starts over. An alternative that
could defend against everything from bribery to celebrity bias
is to randomly pick from the top 13. Another alternative is for
the top 13 to be divided into three random groups, each of
70
Political Playoffs
which picks a representative and then randomly selects from
the top three.
This process can scale for up 200 by adding more decks and increasing the initial table size up to 12 people

Scaling political playoffs to 1000 people requires a slight
variation in the process. A thousand people can easily find a
venue such as a school which can support 100 tables of 10
people. In this case we will require 20 decks of cards of two
different styles, say red-backed and blue-backed cards. Each
table would be mapped to a rank and backing color (e.g., Red
Ace, Blue 9, etc.). Once again people would be able to participate in the shuffling and then line up to take a card and then
go to their table. Each table would have 10 people who would
have to reach 7 of 10 agreement.
Once all the tables have selected their representative then a
second round could take place using the rules for a group of
100 people.

By the time a community reaches 10,000 people it is too big
to host in any single location and it is time to start grouping
people into precincts of 1000 people. Each precinct should be
approximately the same size (between 900 and 1000 people)
and would utilize the same process as a community of 1000 to
pick a precinct representative. The 10 precinct representatives
would then meet to pick the final representative.
Grouping people into precincts should be done in a manner
that is robust against subjective manipulation. The goal is to
prevent people from colluding to corrupt the random distribution and thereby reintroducing political parties or gerrymandering. This can be achieved by grouping people according to
randomly distributed static properties. One such example is
assigning people to precincts by their birthday. Alternatively
precincts could be organized geographically using a deterministic algorithmic not subject to gerrymandering such as a GPS
grid.

This is no different than a community of 100 precinct representatives. A community of one million would be no different
than a community of 1000 precinct representatives. By this
time you can see a pattern emerge that can scale to billions of
people using less than four events, each event consisting of
groups of 1000 or less and using nothing more than widely
available playing cards.
Under this system it is impossible for anyone to “cast multiple votes” or for any “dead people” or “pets” to vote. In order to participate you must show up and that means you must
be alive and in exactly one place at a time. Not only this, but
there would be no campaigning because the only people you
can vote for are the people randomly assigned to your table.
Without campaigning there is no incumbent advantage,
celebrity bias, mud slinging, media bias, wealth bias, nor any
need for campaign financing. Because each group requires 7 of
10 agreement and the groups cannot coordinate in advance,
there is no ability to form political parties. Because every election people are organized into new random groups an incumbent has no base.
