Remedies?
1. No more mail in voting unless you are overseas or in the military.
2. A national PAID day off so everyone has no excuse and can get to the polls to vote.
3. All votes need to be in by a determined deadline, say, 8:00 - 9:00 PM. That's it. No votes can be cast afterwards, I don't care how long the lines are or how big the stacks of votes are.
Anyone?
No need for a paid day off. No absentee voting, only in person voting, complete with the inked finger verification.
If voting is important to you, you will find a way.
It will all work out in the end.

We need a uniform, auditable method, with all results tabulated on election night. Purple ink on the finger, photo ID, only in-person voting (except for overseas military). I would emphasize "guaranteed honesty" over all other concerns, and I would not be distracted by the possibility that 9 people over there may have been "disenfranchised". I don't care. I want honest elections.
I think candidates should run for office on a platform of "Election Reform is my number one concern".

All of which require state legislation, which requires that the states are controlled by Republicans.
