There was an article this morning about MASSIVE voter fraud in Wisconsin. Something like 1.1 million or 1.7 million “near identical” voter registrations apparently created by somebody with access to the voting rolls. It is believed nine of the people even know about the other doppelgänger registration.
I like paper ballots.
I despise standing in a of line of Democrats spouting their BS while I wait to vote! in public.
Paper absentee ballots are fine for me.
As I recall, the issue with paper ballots was the mysterious number of boxes full of uncounted ballots that would show up after the counting was done OR ballots that should have been counted that disappeared. I’m all for paper ballots, but surely there is some way to secure the process.
BTTT
Paper ballots are so good that the 1960 election had no questions.
My thought is bar codes.
Simply make every Election Day a civil holiday - and all voting must be done by paper ballot on that day (except where there is a legitimate request for an absentee ballot which must be returned by Election Day). Problem solved.

FWIW, those machines don’t necessarily have to switch votes.
They can delete them, too.
We need to go back to those damn lever machines.
And audit every freaking election.
I cringe when I see such long lines.....that could be solved by MORE POLLING PLACES!!
Elections Clause: The Elections Clause (Article I, Section 4) explicitly states that Congress has the power to make regulations concerning federal elections. This clause allows Congress to intervene and set standards for elections if necessary, thereby establishing a dual responsibility where both state and federal governments play roles in election administration.
The problem is two-fold IMHO. First, Congress regardless of who is in control, has not passed laws that assure uniform, legal and fair federal elections. Second, for non-federal elections, states that want to maintain the status-quo (read rules that allow cheating), will point to the Constitution and not allow anything to change their voting practices and control.
IMHO - we need a Constitutional amendment that sets a National Voting Standard. It's unlikely that states, particularly blue states, would ratify such an amendment because it would dilute their power and ability to cheat.
