We need to go back to the drawing board. The chaos in this coming election will prove it. It will show us just what we have to do to revamp HAVA, if there is a country left at the end of it all.

Absentee ballots must be for a valid reason.
No unofficial groups registering people to vote. No paying people to get registrations.
John Fund's idea: a FREE photo ID to anyone who wants one, so that there can be no accusations of disenfranchisement of the poor, and that ID or another photo ID must be presented to vote.
No provisional ballots outside your own precinct, and sworn statements that you have registered should be required even in your own precinct.
The voter rolls must be cleared of those who have moved or died.
Cooperation between states to clear duplicate registrations.
And more.

Agreed. Absentee ballots used to be only if you were going to be ABSENT on election day. Now they are for damn lazy people. And what is this "early" voting garbage! Hey, let's shoot ourselves in the foot, why don't we!
