That is the beauty of technology; we can have several switches that when all activated perform the execution making it truly a group effort, or even have a randomizer attached which will selectively ignore the signals from random buttons. There is no requirement to have a single person pulling the switch, but even then there are people out there who would not dwell on the "what if". I am sure psychological care for those working on death row is top notch, and nobody is "forced" to work there.
