content: At first there is a purge needed. Legally or if that doesn't come, any other way. Then a law about how the election has to be performed and what measures to be taken to prevent fraud. Voter ID, nation-wide. Mexico can do it, India can. It is cheap, easy and the poorest and backwards countries can do it, and their citizens can register. There is zero reason to not do it. No argument exist against it, not in 100 years has there been one downside of it found or even hinted at. Everyone who is against voter ID must be a fraudster and must be purged.  Second, ink marking of anyone who voted. Everyone who voted gets their finger dipped in UV visible ink that lasts for at least one week. Everyone who wants to vote must present the right finger without ink. African nations use this to prevent ballot stuffing. Costs almost nothing to implement. Anyone who is against this is a fraudster. Third: voting on a free day. Remove hustle and bustle from election day, reduce absentee ballots, raise participation, make the importance of election clear and place it on a Sunday. Religious beliefs are not a reason to set the voting day. If it's necessary, make election days extra free days like Veteran or MLK.  Fourth: have a small fee associated with absentee voting and require proof of the reasons why absentee ballots are requested. Reduce the numbers to combat fraud, have the fee discourage people from using it needlessly and cover the costs associated with it. One person can only absentee vote two times in a row.    Fifth: synchronize county data and voter rolls. Remove dead people, remove illegals, remove felons. Remove anyone by helicopter that opposes this measure.  Sixth: the election registration closes four weeks before election day. Period. Later applications cost a hefty express fee and will be scrutinized. Elections are every year in some way, anyone who doesn't have voter ID has plenty of time and plenty of reasons to do so now. Who cannot plan ahead four weeks before the election is mentally unfit for voting. Seventh: all ballots are marked with the county and district and printed on special paper with counterfeit features.  Eight: they should have serial numbers, never to be associated with the voter ID of course, but to check against ballot stuffing. Automated secondary processing of these ballots will be performed, so fraud patterns are detected: is the number of votes random across serial numbers, or is there some pattern? Large consecutive blocks of one vote? Double serials? Serials above the actual numbers printed? No more than 10% reserve ballots are to be printed, so number of registered voters time 1.1 is the number of ballots printed. There will be reserve ballots in different colors and special process to use them but this means someone messed up somewhere and that someone is going to jail. Ninth: associate a returnable deposit of 100 dollars to registering for each election. Place a stamp on the voter ID card, like in the old days. Only people with this stamp are allowed to vote on that election. Anyone who votes gets back their 100 dollar deposit. Anyone who does not have 100 dollars to place aside for four weeks is unfit for voting.  Nine-b: the same method as above, but the roles reversed. Anyone who registers gets 100 or 50 dollars in cash paid to them, but actually casting the vote costs that amount of money. Anyone who takes the money but does not have it at the end of one month is unfit for voting.  Tenth: no electronics. No voting machines, no cellphones in the voting booth. Primary counting by humans, secondary counting and verification by machines to statistically detect fraud. No exceptions.    Eleventh: observers are summoned on jury duty equivalent across counties and states to observe the election. Twelfth: if fraud is detected in a district, that district's votes are all invalid, the election supervisor of this district and all the persons responsible are fired or jailed or purged depending on the severity and intent. That district votes again six weeks later under special scrutiny.  Now we need a measure against Gerrymandering, but I have no idea how to do that. The measures above should work very well though and they cost less than two F-35 jets to implement nationwide, for half a century.
