I’d appreciate any comments.
How does this prevent democrats from stuffing the ballot box with votes for those on the rolls that never/rarely show up to vote?
How does this prevent judges from tossing the system out (because of course it’s ‘racist’)?
If you noticed on 11/3 in every state processes, rules, laws were ignored, changed by judges, election boards, with no consequences at all.
I still think the best remedy is for Republicans to stuff the ballot boxes with such a ridiculous number of votes in the GA runoff (say 100million or so) that it can’t be ignored. Since rules don’t count the 2024 election may be decided by who gets to 1 billion votes first.
No computerized equipment at all involved in voting.
No removable media of any kind on tabulators. Analog or Roms only, and someway to confirm that they have not been tampered with. Digital display shows vote counts on tabulator. Numbers are transcribed onto paper by hand.
My wife and I began voting absentee ballots when we were in the military but continued after we retired as well. We live in a farm in rural area and the nearest polling station is almost 25 miles away. We are now in our mid-70s with physical problems that prevent us from standing in line at a polling station for very long.
Limiting absentee ballots for just the military would disenfranchise many older Americans who can't physically stand or wait in line at the polling places or even get to the polling place. Or the infirm and homebound folks. That's not fair to them.
Mail-in absentee ballots are not a risk if they have to be requested and are processed properly.
The problem with mail-in ballots is not ballot itself. It's the democRAT states than mass mailed ballots to everyone they could find in the universe and then some. And didn't process them properly. They sent multiple ballots to some people and to people who hadn't requested ballots and to dead people and to people not registered to vote, etc.
So I disagree that absentee mail-in ballots should be limited to just the military. You just assume everybody else can just "show up", which is not the case.
To: glimmerman70Was trying to give Covid fearing people a chance to vote from home.Fair enough, vote by appointment, show up, get a non-contact temperature measurement, enter by the entrance only door, shove ID into a reader, wait for green light that indicates you actually are on the voter rolls, and have not voted, retrieve ID and wipe down with provided antiviral wipe, grab a pen from the clean pen jar, go to the freshly cleaned voting privacy booth, mark ballot, place pen in the to be cleaned jar, drop ballot into the box, dip finger into the disinfectant purple dye, leave by the separate designated exit.

Anyone not properly registered, or already voted, is arrested on the spot after they drop their ballot in the box. Otherwise, like a shoplifter arrested in the store claiming they they were going to pay, they could claim they weren’t actually going to vote.
This moves any fraud down to the level of single ballots, not full pallets of ballots.
Also, word gets around, and when Auntie Fah and Bea Al’em, don’t return to the stop-at-every-polling-place ‘No Malarky’ bus, that puts a serious crimp in the “normal” fraud process...
Oh, did I mention Election Day is a holiday? No judges available to set bail...

My comment: Until the Republican Party is destroyed, nothing positive such as your most excellent suggestion can ever happen.
