FIRST hasn't elaborated on this at all (to my knowledge), but do you all suppose that they might do a "text to vote" service or something like that? They could run the vote during staging, and have the "winning defense" ready by the time match starts. Just a thought. It certainly would be a lot less chaotic, and would eliminate needless noise.

Another thought.
In the rules it never says that the audience will pick different defenses for either alliance.
Perhaps the audience has to vote on a single defense that is used on both sides of the field. This means that audience members of participating teams might possibly vote for a defense that is harder to traverse, just to give their opponents a harder time, even if it constrains them a little as well.

Thoughts?
