Thanks to the rampant fraud apparent in the 2020 presidential election, United States citizens have diminished trust in the electoral process. Changes will be necessary to restore faith in the electoral outcome. Voter ID laws, purging the deceased from voter rolls, blockchain technology with redundant servers, improved cyber-security, and the like are all possible ways to reduce fraud and should be pursued. Nevertheless, there is potential that some will still attempt to illegally game an election system that they could not win legitimately. While it may not be possible to eliminate election fraud entirely, it is relatively simple to reduce the payoff for the effort to become less effective.
The Electoral College's design is that each state casts its votes for president and vice president based on the outcomes of elections within that state in a manner that the state's legislature directs. Each state is afforded the number of votes equal to the whole number of senators and representatives for the state, with the District of Colombia also receiving three total votes. Because each state has two senators and at least one representative, a feature of the Electoral College is that it provides those least populous states with three votes, whereas an allotment based strictly on their population would only allow them one electoral vote. Because of this attribute, there are times when the popular vote breaks for one candidate and the electoral vote for the other. Some consider this an undesirable artifact of an outdated election system and propose eliminating the Electoral College, replacing it with a national popular vote.
Within the current Electoral College, fraud in one location is limited in its effect on the national outcome. The only electoral votes affected are from that state where the fraud occurred.

“reducing?”
WTF...we’ve all been subjected to “real ID” for our drivers licenses at this point.
It should be possible for the state...which is capable of tracking ANYTHING they intend, to certify an election without fraud.
And who does the writer propose to implement and enforce these proposals?
The Deep State has turned government into a “No Go” zone for honest citizenry.
diminished trust, sounds like we mildly distrust them, NO WE DONT TRUST THEM AT ALL, PERIOD
Kaslin,
As a Georgia voter I fear that our ‘public servants’ will not make any changes to our methods of voting.
We must demand of our state Representatives and Senators move away from these machines by 2022.
Nope, nope, nope.
In-person voting on paper ballots, with photo ID and purple finger ink.
There's a strong reason they did it that way in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Reducing the Consequences of Fraud in National Elections”
Its beyond repair, The democRATS have been doing it for generations, and the GOP is too cowardly to do anything about it for fear they’d be called racist. Meanwhile the SCOTUS ignores their oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Its what you call a “banana republic”.
Too late now.
After Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens, voting will be irrelevant.
The GOP is not cowardly, they are COMPLICIT.
This could be inserted into the United States Code regarding election of candidates for Federal office.
Some background: in computer science, and particularly in the area of computer security, the goal is to make an attack as expensive as possible for the attacker. You can't block an attack if the attacker is determined and has resources. But you can make the cost higher than the value of success.
So, for elections, you need to devise a method that limits the damage that can be done for a specific action. For example, blunt the effect of ballot-stuffing to the tune of 300,000 votes. Like in war strategy, “divide and conquer”.
Now, it's up to each State to determine how to do this for election for State office, and for offices for the sub-divisions. For Federal offices, though, there is a way to make fraud hard to do on a national scale. The best part is that this idea has precedence in the Constitution and the US Code.
First, vote counting is done by county or county equivalent (such as Mississippi parishes and Alaska boroughs). There are 3007 (or so) counties in the United States. Each county tallies the votes in that county for each federal office. The winner of each office in the county is counted as one vote in the next step.
Next step for House districts: for each office, count the number of counties where the candidate has the most votes. The candidate who gets the most nods from the counties wins the election. In the case of a tie, the total votes in the district determines the winner.
Next step for the Senate: for each office, count the number of counties where the candidate has the most votes. The candidate who gets the most nods from the counties in the State wins the election. In the case of a tie, the total votes in the State determines the winner.
Next step for the office of President of the United States: count the number of counties where the candidate has the most votes. The candidate who gets the most nods from the counties in the Congressional district wins one elector. The winner of all the counties in the state wins two electors.
The State determines how each county canvasses the vote: straight one-citizen-one-vote, ranked voting, or any other method the State legislature so directs.
Free speech died on Nov 4. That was the last chance to have a free and honest election in this country. Mid-terms will mean nothing. When the new Admin secures both houses of the legislature in the Ga runoffs all Federal elections after that will be required to use the same processes and hardware as was used in Mi, Pa, etc. The historic DNC losses will be readily reversed. In fact, since the Proles will be told again and again by the MSM that everything is going swimmingly, there will be historic gains. This will rapidly trickle down to state legislatures so that amendments to the US constitution will be unstoppable.
The author, Phillip G. Pattee, is only proposing that fraud be institutionalized on a by-District basis to replace the fraud on a state-wide basis as is the case now.
In order to clean up our election system, the first thing to do is clean up our voter registration system.
Every state must reregister in person every voter and the person has to have valid identification including citizenship documents.
Then every six years a person has to reregister and failure to do so, removes their name from the voter rolls.
DNA testing.
Need to change the laws to allow lawsuits before and after an election, and to give standing to more people.
eliminating election fraud is simple
Begin and carry through killing the fraudsters. By committing election fraud, they have forfeited their right to life.
Tampering with elections is the greatest of crimes
Small voting precincts to allow easy vote counts by hand.
I suggest elementary schools. Every address is assigned a local elementary school.
In this instance they were all in on the steal. Because after all there really is only one party, the Uni-Party. The 2 parties are only a distraction to give the appearance of 2 distinct parties. In other words, it's been a suckers game for decades now.
The Secretaries of State should have no problem securing who is or is not alive as Social Security knows within 30 days of people over 65 and others are recoded by the states themselves. IRS knows the state of residence. Registering people under 18 is illegal and fraud. Absentee ballots should have numbers assigned to specific voters and be coded and scanned on the envelope and ballot. In Missouri, numbers were assigned and people could even check and see if their ballots had been received and counted.
There wont be a reduction without a “great reduction.”
