Just have a big "leader board" displaying everyone's votes. They can double-check that they voted how they meant to, and the votes are right there for everyone to see.
100 years isn't that long ago. It's only 2-3 generations from us. Hell, people in office of that generation are only now starting to die lol. We'll probably have to wait until gen x and millennials are running the show.

Conservatives don't do anything easily.
