No matter which side you are on, you probably will think the elections are somehow rigged. Lets assume they are and work together to fix them.
The first problem both sides have mentioned in this and past elections is the vulnerability of the electronic machines to be hacked. Lets assume that is a correct assessment. How do we fix it, and still maintain the right of every Citizen to vote?
I propose that we return to paper ballots and hand count them. Many on both sides will say this is the main way Voter Fraud is perpetuated. A simple solution to that exists. Outlaw the use of all electronic and/or mechanical voting or tabulating machines.
1. First clean the voter rolls of every person verified as ineligible to vote because they are not a citizen, adjudged mentally incompetent, or are dead and have not been removed from the rolls. Make it mandatory with severe penalties and personal fines on those who are charged with keeping elections fair and honest with Federal Election Laws and complementary State Election Laws who do not fulfill their legal obligation. Simply put a Federal Law that requires state legislatures to pass laws compelling election officials to regularly CLEAN and VERIFY the active voter rolls. How the election officials are to do that is up to the State Legislatures with a subsequent Federal Penalty if they don't comply with the laws.
2. Count the verified voters in every precinct and send out absentee ballots to only those who are on the verified voter rolls in their precincts. This means everyone on the list all gets a Paper Ballot.
3. Starting right after the election and going up to 3 months before the next election. Verify those who can't make it to the polls to drop off their ballots, make a current list of the names and allow them to mail their ballots in with the State Paying for the postage, and check the mailed in ballots against the list with all parties running. Have a watcher from all parties running to verify the names.
4. Set up drop boxes outside the county Clerks Offices, keeping them under 24 hour video surveillance where people can drop their ballots off up to 5 days in advance of the election but not after when the polls close on election day. The only exceptions being deployed Military votes and authorized mail in votes from the eligible absentee voters list must be counted.
5. Set up drop boxes outside and inside precincts, keeping them under video and elections personnel surveillance where the public can drop off their absentee paper ballots on election day.
6. Have a system where people can turn in their damaged ballot and after being verified on the voter rolls and with picture ID as eligible to vote can be given a provisional ballot, and their turned in original ballot must be destroyed/shredded in front of them and let them be allowed to fill out their provisional ballot and turn it in.
7. Require Picture ID on voter registration. It can be any picture that comes from a government source like a drivers license, or a state identity card. Require a birth certificate or naturalization papers to verify citizenship.
8. Make it a federal Law that all ballots must be kept intact in their original form and stored for 10 years as such, then be transferred to digital "true copies of originals", and kept for posterity.
9. Mandate by law that all counting will continue unbroken, with authorized poll watcher/vote challengers allowed unrestricted access to count, until every turned in ballot has been counted. The only exceptions being deployed Military and Authorized mail in absentee ballots, for 14 days after the close of polls may be added to final count.
10. All votes must be certified within 14 days of the closing of polls and NO Preliminary counts or trends or winner calls be released, until the final poll votes are counted and verified. Certification to come at the 14 day period when any military/authorized mail-in votes are counted.
