If the idea is to change the process and use the internet, why are you requiring hard copy? Are you going to require that this new type of candidate immediately start rooting around for a money trough to pay for travel funds to go to various states in person, or are you really committed to changing the paradigm?
That being said, I do support the idea of 100 unique, validated individuals petitioning for a candidate to be considered etc etc, just not necessarily in-person hard copy.
