Actually, I didn't really mean to imply that there would really be jars. I meant that it would be explained in that way, and people would still fill out paper ballots or some other way of making a recording of the vote.
Hey, we could just take pictures of the jars after people voted. And then empty the jar into a bigger jar after each person voted. The photo would be the paper trail, and you could still have satisfaction of the tactile and visual elements of the jar idea.
