I don’t always agree with Hannity but on this one he’s right.

Make election day a national holiday. You show up at the polls on that day and vote. Only military and diplomatic personnel stationed in a foreign country, and the infirmed can vote absentee. Everyone else...vote on election day. No vote by mail, no taking weeks to count the vote.

Until this happens, we’re going to have the same problem every two years.

Or the GOP can adapt to the present reality that in 9 states I think there is now permanent mail in ballots.

We need to adjust accordingly and precinct walk and phone bank earlier. I worked on a school board campaign in one of those 9 states and by the time we started knocking on doors and calling (2 weeks ago) many had already voted. So we meaning the GOP needs to adapt and get those votes banked earlier and locked up, leaving resources to get the last remaining ones in during the final days.

In those states, we shouldn’t be telling voters to “wait until Game Day.” Then they break a foot or are out of town or forget or get sick or encounter long lines or broken equipment like in Maricopa county and their votes aren’t banked like the Dems are.

That ship has already sailed. We no longer have Free, Honest and Open elections and have not for some time, now.

May as well just rip our Constitution to shreds (like Pelosi did ceremoniously during the 2020 State of The Union address) and resign ourselves to living in a dictatorship. We are no longer the “land of the free and home of the brave”.

Give folks 3 days to vote.

Open the polls on the Sunday and Monday before Election Day. Election Day is a national holiday. And increase the number of polling places.

Expand the criteria for Absentee Ballots as that will get rid of the need for Mail In and Drop Boxes. If you’re infirm, fine. Get an Absentee Ballot.

If you get caught lying, good luck in the county jail.

Until this happens, we’re going to have the same problem every two years.....if this continues, the problem will be over in 2-4 years as the Left takes over every aspect of government, like they just did in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Its control over government will eliminate the cheating as all of that will soon be made legal and one by one, every Republican will be picked off.

“ Make election day a national holiday. You show up at the polls on that day and vote. ”

That is NEVER going to happen. It is too fair and our government does not want fair elections. Those in power would never allow it. The only way you can do this is by overthrowing our current government with bullets, mass death and destruction and then starting all over again. Burni it all down and eliminate the existing tyranny and slavery, then you could design a new system.

How many people do you want to disenfranchise
from their right to vote for their leaders.

Is there any way that a state could make that a law for their state?
