5. I think a few things need to be changed in the voting methods.

Like mandating that all voting machines produce the card like this one


I would feel pretty good if the machine had a slot where the voter could reinsert the card and get a list of what the person voted for. (Or a different device)

The card is interred into a tabulator that may or may not be hacked in tabulating the actual cards. The cards (ballots) are stored in the tabulator. In many states a random audit is conducted by taking the cards out and tabulated in a different machine which is good.

The equipment is good and it is a good system as long as bad actors do not have access.

I think the Democrats main problem is the voter registration drives. Naturally it is nice if everyone can and does vote. But what it the majority of the population has been so indoctrinated by bad people and vote against their own interest. In the past the only people who usually vote are were the knowledgable people.Not so much any more. I do not think that a perfect voting system can overcome the stupidity of people. It will only amplify it.
