I wouldn't design it but I could contribute to it. I would look for the proverbial pony express friendly features and check if they actually make sense in 2020. For example: remove the requirement for it all to happen at the same time. This is clearly a feature that makes paper voting work. In 2020 we should be able to change our vote when we like and have a threshold at which a candidate or party is replaced. (This also gets rid of the election circus and make election promises more binding (rather than the "say whatever you like" paradigm) If you need to make decisions that are unpopular you will just have to work harder to inform and educate people about the logic behind it.) If it is not in real time voting in person is not a problem. A secure room (phones and cameras not allowed) where no one can see what you've voted. (a bus would do fine) 4 separate systems with a 5th that checks if they all got the same vote from you. At the regional level the votes are counted continuously, if one of the 4 system produces a different result an investigation is triggered and huge prison sentences may follow.
