    If we must put it in terms of an election cycle, then yeah even then. If your vote is still "valid" insofar as that person is still alive and running, I think its better to assume that you still support them vs 1/3rd turnout that we see now. You can vote any given day, so "forgetting" isn't really an issue. If you neglect to vote then you must not care that much about being counted in support of that person.

    How do you see it being gamed in a way that the current 4-year cycle isn't just as bad or worse?

      Voter registration is about 75%, and turnout among registered voters is 60-80% depending on regular or midterm and how excited they are.

      Every-day voting makes it easier for outrage to halt a policy. And I still think lots of people wouldn't care enough to vote.
