No machines or early or mail-in voting nationwide. Day of, public, in-person counting of ballots only.
I agree. States need to fund enough polls and personnel to accept and count votes in one day.
That sounds good in principle but becomes unworkable at some point.
Texas has early voting. It is in person with a required ID. It allows working people a chance to vote before or after work during the week. Imagine the chaos of every working person trying to vote between 6pm and 7pm on a T uesday. That chaos will deter many from even attempting to vote.
Limited early voting coupled with in-person application for an absentee ballot provides a good mix of security and participation.
