MAIL IN VOTING is a scam & is too easily manipulated.

Back to walk in-—show ID-—sign book-—vote in person-—PERIOD.

Motor Voter needs to be repealed. The voting rolls need to be completely purged and everyone should be re-registered.

There should be an national check to ensure they don’t register multiple times and in other States.

There should be tough penalties for those who commit vote fraud.

I am sure others can chime in on ideas for voting integrity reforms.

1) States with full GOP control need to look at successful election models, eg. Florida but also my Iowa and perhaps some others, that produce fast election results and minimize fraud and change their methods to match. And while taking care of their own elections they need to make public fun of all the bluer states taking forever to count with those with many goofs along the way.

2) Would love to do same for states without full GOP control, but help may be on the way via a SCOTUS bank shot. This term they are taking a case that claims controls of elections are under Federal constitution a state legislative, rather than executive or judicial matter. If so ruled, states with GOP legislatures (eg. WI) may still be able to effectively changes some of these rules in spite of state executive or judicial interference!

3) Above can't fix the solid blue states, but might enable enough EVs to make changes at federal level. If we temporarily gain that power we need to try the following. Although SCOTUS might rule elections are primarily a state legislative function it has previously ruled that Feds have interests that can allow narrow pre-emptions. Eg. Feds may set a uniform election day for Federal races. States tend to take advantage and throw much of their own elections onto the same date as a way to save themselves money. However having federal elections is a requirement on them for joining the union and they can do as they please (within republican form of governmental limits, etc.) for how and when to run their own elections. Feds could, and should claim that all these elongated, slow to decide state election measures interferes with timely, orderly transfer of federal executive and legislative power, thus with proper running of the federal government as well as potentially disenfranchising citizens whose legislative representation is delayed. And thus declare that regular Federal elections not only all have to be run on the day but under specified limitations to ensure timely initial vote counting and allow sufficient time for procedural safeguards such as reconciliation, timely recounts and election challenges. How states run their federal elections affect the entire country, not just that state. Although rare races conceivably can take longer the expectation should be that most races are resolved promptly, as has been proven to be possible in many US states and in most countries worldwide. If they want to append some state elections to the federal ones within those limits states may do so. State may chose to do something more complicated for their own races, but must separate out the slow stuff and be willing to pay for that added complexity they desire. Both potentially as a greater price to their state budget and as a more complicated system for their electorate to navigate. Federally run a 'KISS' election (keep it simple, stupid) with enough slack built in to keep military voting possible and accommodate the problem's Alaska's vastness provides, but not any political fads. If Oregon wants to take 6 months to run their state elections they can, but they can't for OUR federal ones.
