The most consequential change that can be made is the elimination of permanent voter registration. Make every voter register again for every election. That way you’d eliminate this idiocy where people are still on the voter rolls long after they’ve died or moved to another state.
I think there should be a uniform voting standard for the Presidential elections in all states.
If we are electing a person to be POTUS over all States, then the standard should be the same.
That would go a long way in cutting out the cheating and illegal voting.
BUMP
Article I Section 4: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”
++ I totally agree.
It is my understanding that Congress writes election laws and then the states enforce the laws.
She is incredible and deserves so much credit- this never would’ve happened in 2020 if she were in charge
Yup.
Can you even do a national standard ? States run the elections
The bastardized spectacle you see on Election Day every four years is NOT a real presidential election.
This is great.
Every vote from qualified citizens will count
Equally
The memes about Biden orchestrating this election are hilarious. I just saw one with biden on the phone telling them to turn off the machines. No steal. Harris will rue the day she crossed Joe Biden.
See Post #50.
Yes, but there must be minimal federal standards. Lara suggested 1) citizenship and 2) voter ID.
Other considerations for standardization might be mail-in/absentee, receipt deadlines, paper ballots, counting deadlines.
If Florida --one of the largest, in 2 time zones--can do it fairly and quickly, so can the rest. The current mish-mash invites distrust in the election system and if that fails, so does the country, eventually.
Democrats usually win in battleground states from massive ballot fraud.
Time for a total overhaul of the voting process.
Lara Trump is a really tough smart lady.
Our voting rules were designed when we were a small rural country.
The 60 days between voting and changeover was designed for horseback times.
Everybody votes.
No RCV
ONE PAPER PALLOT.
MSNY VOTING PLACES
Personally I agree with you. Should be the death penalty, but it will never get passed. 10 years mandatory hard labor in a real prison is more likely to become law.
The most notable federal election standard for elections is simply that elections for federal office must be held on the designated Election Day. But there’s nothing that prevents a state from holding its own elections for state offices on a different day.
Mandatory valid voter ID.
It would be a welcome miracle to do just one thing that made sense in this country. Who knows? It might just start a trend we could get used to?
States rights for states stuff but this crap of screwing up the Union is nothing short of insane.
