Interesting idea. But you could never know in advance what the results of a vote would be. The only way to do this would be another alteration to law to allow such behavior. However, I am fairly certain this would violate the capital structure and foundational rules put in place by companies with regards to what constitutes a quorum, when/how voting is done, etc. Because companies are allowed to determine how things are done so this would be directly overriding that.

I suppose it's possible to construct a law that says companies can conduct their voting as they have been, but they must also allow/accept late "votes" from fund managers but the requirement is that those late votes must conform to the same proportions.
