First, make election day a federal holiday.
Get rid of mail in ballots for those who do not have a valid reason to have one.
The ONLY people who should receive a mail in ballot are people who are disabled, and military personnel who are out of the country, and that's it.

As in years past, candidates running for office, made sure people voting their party, got transportation to the polls.
That was not an issue.
For those voting by mail, their ballots must be postmarked no later than the last day of October.
All mail in ballots would be counted, and accounted for before the general election in November.
The only voting on election day would be done in person, at the polls.
ID would be required for anyone voting.
If you can't furnish ID, then you can't vote.

The reason this is not being done presently is because it is much to simple, and those in charge want confusion so the voting public doesn't have a clue what is going on.

There is zero evidence of widespread fraud.

So trying to find solutions to a non-existing problem is an interesting approach.

No. I like living in a state that uses mail ballots, and I'm not inclined to give them up.

For a certain segment of the population, the definition of election fraud is “black people voting.”

Me too. Anyay, it's up to the states to determine how to run elections. I think there's a good chance you'll see a red/blue divide emerge since increasingly the red part of the country has gotten a bee in their bonnet on the issue. Red states can get rid of it while blue states retain it. It's about as close to making everyone happy as you're likely to ever get.

Good news is if you're in a red state, really doesn't matter how a blue state operates its election to you.
Except it does when said blue states pass laws enabling one party to cheat at will. And then the officials responsible for investigating and prosecuting the cheating are in on it.

First you have to prove there is fraud to prevent before we make it more difficult to vote. Voting should be made as easy as possible for all citizens. Automatically register every citizen to vote. Automatically mail them a mail in ballot (people have been voting by mail since the civil war, with no issue). Give flexibility in times and locations to vote in person and to drop off mail in ballots. We need to stop putting hurdles in the way of people voting.

So Trump fixed the fraud problem?

After discovering the existence, if not the full scope, of Russia’s election interference efforts in late-2016, the Obama Administration struggled to determine the appropriate response,” the committee’s GOP chairman, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, said in a statement.
