Here's an objection: The time required. Those endless votes mean that only people with a lot of time on their hands could participate. If you were hoping to stack the deck in favor of "producers", it ain't gonna work.

You'd get retirees (remember those Dade County voters? Yeah, give 'em a new butterfly ballot every few days, yeah, that's the ticket!), the unemployed and otherwise government-supported, the independently wealthy... Doing it online would open up participation to shutins, such as those in mental hospitals and in prisons. If you mandate by law time off so that the employed can vote, how many billions of productive hours would be lost?

It would be terribly expensive to set up and operate. There might be economies of scale in some areas, but there'd also be capital investment in full-time voting facilities, and long-term staffing. This would surely catapault those obscure little county election departments into major bureaucracies.

There would inevitably be errors and consequent challenges generated by a system rushing frantically through election after election. In fact, the process couldn't proceed any faster than the time to resolve each legal challenge. What would happen if an election dragged on through the entire term being contested? Ah, Florida writ large. Resolving all the legal disputes would require a large expansion of the fulltime judiciary and the private legal profession.

Actually, in terms of political pork, this has something for everybody. It just might fly. Only, it might not produce quite the result you were hoping for.
