The idea about voting isn't to select a "best" hack each night, its to say "take some time to find a better hack". That way if someone does get through the pre-screening you have a way to say, "take a couple weeks to think about your next Tell."
Granted the nation wide voting idea kinda gives the wrong impression on that part. I still think it'd be a good idea to keep videos somewhere.
Granted it was mostly just hand waving on how to keep the non-hacker attendees from overwhelming the hacker presenters.

Kicking people out and telling people to work in isolation until they stumble upon something that meets your requirements seems both elitist and pointless.
