You want fair elections? How about expanding voter registration. Make it easier for everyone to vote. How about getting dark money out of elections. Lets make it illegal to propagate lies and spread conspiratorial propaganda. How about looking at the truth, the whole truth and noting but the truth. Over 60 cases of alleged voter fraud cases were tossed out by judges on both side of the isle, including the SCOTUS on our last presidential election. Bill Barr said there was no wide spread voter fraud. Yet, there are still people believing this garbage that the election was stolen. Lets get rid of the electoral college. There is a problem when the popular vote is negated by a few. It's not mob rule if every single vote counts, it's an election. We do not have an electoral college for any other political race in this country but the presidency. Why are we at the mercy of a minority? This process is antiquated and outdated.
Disenfranchising any vote is un-American and reeks of tyranny. It gives this country to a select few, not we the people.
Our elections have been rigged by dark money, lies, conspiracy theories and emotional rhetoric designed to turn the heads of the uneducated emotional thinkers. You want fair elections? Educate yourself. We all need to stop being useful idiots on both sides, because neither side cares about you. United we have the power to demand better. Divided we lose and the big donors win.
Establish 'election day'! worked well for decades!
one day, one in person vote!
Stop telling us blacks are not capable of getting out to vote.
that rogue IRS office in Cincinnati did suppress the conservative vote.
states broke their own voting laws, judges wouldn't touch it post election with a ten foot pole, showing their lack of character and their cowardliness..
write in ballots and delayed vote count have to go. no ballot harvesting
absentee ballots under special circumstances only.

I don't disagree with anything you said, but I think much of it is wishful thinking. Education is key, but many people are less informed today than 50 years ago. Many people think they are informed because they have been brainwashed to believe in conspiracy theories.
You mention the Electoral College, but it is not going away. The Electoral College was established to give the states, rather than the people, the power to elect Presidents. It gave more power to the smaller states. It was also thought the Electoral College was insurance against "mob rule." The Republicans benefit today from the Electoral College. That will likely stay the same for the foreseeable future. It would make no sense for the Republican Party to give up that advantage.
Campaign finance is the most logical place to attempt change. It would start with overturning the SCOTUS Citizens United decision, which might require a constitutional amendment.

Never happened. Mail-in ballots have been a part of every election since the practice was started during the Civil War to allow soldiers in the field to vote.
