Not oversimplified in the least. Simple does not necessarily mean fast. In any voting mechanism you need a census and some way to verify the identity of the voters. That's why it's not in place right now.
In a democracy all people are supposed to be represented. Voting by district, state, county, whatever is the best way to achieve that representation.
