It's actually how congress worked before the "sunshine" act of 1971 which made voting records public.

The vast majority of people don't actually go and look up their senator's/congressperson's voting records, where as lobbyists do. So I think the voter disclosure argument is overblown; I don't think that voters actually need to know the exact voting records of their congressperson. I think voting should be selecting people based on character and rhetoric and then letting those people act as representatives.

It would be less democratic, but more functional (and more akin to what the founders imagined anyway).
