It would be an administrative nightmare, but one of Fisher's biggest concerns could be addressed if they allowed you to change your vote. It's what they do in corporate proxy contests. Basically, you can keep changing your vote right up to the shareholders meeting because all you're doing is granting someone a revocable right to vote in your name. Whoever holds the most recent proxy for each shareholder gets that proxy vote.
As I said, this would be an administrative nightmare, but if the administrative elements could be addressed, the idea of switching your vote back and forth as election day approaches could address the question of everyone voting with the same information.
