They *could* figure out a better system, but there's no practical way to keep track under the current system.
The ballots are filled out and then placed in an envelope signed by the voter. Once the signature is verified against the pre-submitted affadavit, the envelope is discarded. The ballot is then treated as an anonymous one. The voter does not sign the actual ballot.
Anyway, all someone has to do if questioned is say "I didn't use voter tickets to see '_____ show'. I went with a friend." So you have no official record of them seeing a show...but they say they did, and you are set up to take their word for it.
By the way, plenty of voters don't pay for League membership. SDC, Equity, etc etc etc have designated voters who don't spend $3500 to qualify. But they do donate a sh*t ton of their time serving in elected office. And frankly, these are the people you do not want to exclude, especially since the Tonys kicked 1/8 of the voters (a.k.a. the press) to the curb.
