Ballots not counted by midnight should be fed through crosscut shredders, then incinerated.

I’ve been saying things similar to this since Norm Coleman was railroaded out of his rightfully won election. Minnesota’s election officials allowed multiple counting’s where after each time they came up short they said they needed to recount again because they found more ballots; some of them were “found” in the backseats and trunks of vehicles. The fraud was blatantly obvious.

The revisions should be national in scope. There should only be a one time count of the votes and ballots. This would assure that each party who had observers present would make sure that the votes presented timely would be counted correctly.

At the time of Hand counting a second group of arbitrators would be present to oversee any questionable ballots to make a final determination. If a contested vote is rejected those ballots would be photographed as evidence for any potential cases of attempted fraud by individuals who wrongly challenge and cancel a valid vote or ballot.

It might cost the states a little bit more up front. But it would surely lower the overall costs of recounts and litigation. But more importantly it would be one step in making the voting process legitimate again.
