Eliminate the possibility of absentee ballot fraud in elections.
Require traceability (bar or QR code) on absentee ballot envelopes so they can be audited as to whom they were assigned and the address they were mailed.
Ban ballot harvesting. Only permit immediate family members or authorized care providers to submit absentee ballots for another person.
Automatically require an audit of more than 10 ballots mailed to a single address to confirm this is reasonable (nursing home, for instance).
Replace ballot drop boxes with more secure repositories. Require anyone dropping off ballots to scan their ID and have a picture taken of their face. Scan each envelope individually as it is deposited. Create an auditable record of the ballots received and the identity of the person who deposited them. 24 hr surveillance on each device with open access viewing to the public. Allow public access to drop box data (identification of individuals submitting ballots and totals at each location). Automatically require an audit of anyone depositing more than 10 ballots.
Require absentee ballots to be dropped off in person at the post office if not using a secure drop box. Ballot envelopes will be scanned , the person’s ID checked and recorded on each envelope. Ballots mailed or placed in a post office drop box will be returned to sender.
Allow one representative from each major political party to accompany ballot collection from drop boxes to processing centers.
Require ballots to be processed only in processing centers with full surveillance. Allow public viewing access. Require verification of signatures to be digitally recorded for audit purposes.
Encourage in person voting by creating a national Election Day holiday and allow early in person voting. Require photo ID to vote.
Purge voter rolls one year prior to any national election. Send registration cards/reminders to all state ID card holders who are also US citizens and eligible to vote and allow online registration using information from their state ID.
