The role of the ballot is to determine who best methodologically builds counter hegomonic politics.

The requirement of having to perform is necessarily a disembodied politics. There is no standard for evaluating performance outside of aesthetics. In terms of performance, the speaker and perceived quality of speech makes the difference. That makes it impossible for those that have studders, or lisps, or otherwise differently abled don’t have access to that avenue.
