The new Republican Speaker must shut down the USPS until mail in ballots are at least greatly reduced by federal law.
1) Envelopes must have signatures on the outside of the ballots so the postal scans capture the signatures.
2) No ballots can be delivered after the close of the polls on election day.
3) All ballots must have a code identifying the voter so that fraudulent ballots can be removed when discovered.
4) No unsolicited ballots may be mailed.
“All ballots must have a code identifying the voter”
SERIOUSLY!!?? You trust government people to keep that secure, to not leak it, to not hand it over to enemies to dox and assault people who voted the “wrong” way?
That would end the secret ballot for good.
Simple solutions:
1. END all mail ballots.
2. All in-person voting unless you appear before a registrar in person and request an absentee ballot. They should be rare.
3. Election DAY, not month or season
4. All ballots counted on Election DAY
5. Wipe out registration rolls every four years after presidential elections. You must appear in person before the registrar to re-register with your passport and birth certificate.
6. You can hand in ONE ballot from a blood relative, no more.
7. NO drop boxes outside polling places on election day.
This would also simplify audits.
Hoist the USPS on their own petard. Require any mail-in ballots to use Registered mail, with return receipt requested. It’s the ONLY remaining no-BS class of mail with full chain of custody recording. Nobody dares to f%@k with Red mail.
