Maybe we should have a system where we no longer have secret ballots, and instead your votes are recorded, but in an encrypted way so that only a proper impartial investigation board (perhaps at the federal level) can have access to it, in cases where it's decided that the voters for bad politicians need to be punished personally for their contribution to the problem. So when the government is sued, everyone who voted for those politicians gets to pay. I really don't see why those who voted against the negligent or criminal politician should be on the hook for it.
