Offhand, I would say a traditional voting booth should:
*Accurately tally votes
*Provide privacy and anonymity
*Move the voter efficiently through the process of recording their descisions
*Provide records for recounts and turnout statistics
in roughly that order
What most of us seem to be doing is assigning to the booth other aspects of the political process which we are no longer (or never were, I suppose) functioning properly, such as attracting and educating voters, or polling public opinion.
Which could make sense if the voting booth is a good icon for democracy.
Oh yeah, so do we get to vote on winner this time?
and if so, how?
