What you or I think it a better way has no merit.

Don’t like it? Amend the Constitution. All it takes is a super majority in Congress and then a super majority of states to ratify it. POTUS does not get a vote.
If these looser voting rules are that popular, it shouldn't be difficult to get the approval of 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states. Right?

The things you guys dream up is just so crazy. There were over 150 million votes cast in the last presidential election. You think you can pay people 20 dollars a ballot and make an impact on the election? First of all the cost would be astronomical and you would need tens of thousands of people not to talk about getting paid money to sell their ballot. You honestly think something like this would be feasible?

Looks like the usual suspects are whining and complaining once again, about states passing laws designed to make it harder for them to cheat in elections, and/or for any unqualified voter to cast ballot(s).

It's a good time to review some of the suggestions made in this thread.

Once again, if vote fraud has been going on, then just why the hell aren't Republicans filing criminal vote fraud charges against the perpetrators and getting them sent to prison?

If Republicans and Democrats think in states that have mail in voting is going fine, then why change it to make it stricter or abolish it?

LOL, Dream on, Republicans won't allow unless maybe there is another pandemic going on in 2024. Perish the thought!

(Even Warren and Kloubacher questioned their reliability.) Also, going forward, there will be a relief shift at the ready so that the counting doesn’t stop mid-stream. This excuse that the counters were tired is pretty transparent.
Once again, if there is always vote fraud, then just why the hell aren't Republicans, or anybody else who is in a legal position to do so getting vote fraud charged as crime and perpetrators of it sent to prison? After all, it is a serious felony crime, isn't it?

Right. Just who has been denied the right to vote because someone forged their signature on the voter rolls? If that situation is widespread in some state or locality, I can see requiring an ID, but don't see it as a serious problem. I voted for decades by just telling the poll worker my name and signing it, and never had a problem with it.

As usual, the cheating Democrats are trying frantically to change the subject to "prove there were examples of cheating in 2020"....

.... instead of the subject of the thread, "How should the next election be held, in light of the plentiful evidence that electronic voting machines can be spoofed and laws changed to make it ridiculously easy to cheat".

They are terrified of discussing the real thread subject, and so are doing everything they can to pretend it isn't there.
