Since some commentators believe we should vote according to polls, why bother to even have elections? Why not just average the results of the three lowest bidders on election day?
It saves all those retired people from overworking because of crowds or being bored because so few show up. It saves the hassle of buying voting machines or the arguments over their accuracy. It saves all the "busy" people from having to take time off from work or detouring to or from work.
We can watch our favorite shows on TV without constant breathless interruptions for the latest results and what they mean. We won't have to stay up to see if our favorite candidates won. Say at 9:00 EST the three polls emailed their results to the FEC. The FEC would enter them into a database and the results would be available online by 10:00 EST. No waiting around to find if your candidate won, just click on the right box.
Gosh, this so simple why hasn't anybody thought of it before?
