Normally if there is a lot of ill-will between rigid majority and minority factions, then the majority will not assent to a raffle, and if there is one the losing side will suspect that it was rigged.
By "assent to a raffle" I meant "assent to any sytem for filling powerful public offices that has a big random element", and wasn't referring to their voting strategy once that method is
established. (Maybe it could be forced on them by some external power.)
