Any absentee ballots sent out must be vetted and counted prior to election day. I'm iffy on same day registration for this reason too. We really don't NEED to be this accommodating, being free people with rights means we are capable enough to exercise them by planning ahead. If you can't do that you probably don't know what you're even voting for.
Also Ballot serial numbers. I don't know why that isn't already a thing. And ballot harvesting shouldn't be allowed anywhere.
What do you mean by ballot serial numbers? There's some tension between security and being able to identify the actual votes a person made.
Must be a Us Citizen
No mail in ballots unless your disabled or elderly
In person by paper no computer
Must show ID
In Houston, we have nearly 100 races to vote on. Paper alone is not an option. We do have a paper ballot generated from the voting machine. It gets scanned to do the counting.
Mail ballots for disabled and elderly alone? How about Americans who are working overseas? How about military? How about people who work in US embassies around the world?

Absentee ballots for overseas military is okay.
Also, raise voting age to 26 so both men's and women's brains are fully developed when they vote. Perhaps have an exception for those in the military as they have a vested interest because they could go to war.

Should there be an age Maximum to vote, or hold public office? Yearly cognitive testing?
As someone pointed out to me on a comment just like that. We want loyalty pledges like N Korea?
The difference being... one is coerced and the other is voluntary. Are you forced to recite the pledge of Allegiance? or sing the National Anthem? or forced to vote?
Who can't see the obvious difference if you have a brain? Political bias is very blinding.
- There should not be same day registration since that's not enough time to vet
- Any illegal that somehow gets amnesty should NEVER be allowed to vote
- must swear a loyalty pledge to put the interests of the United States FIRST become all foreign interests and all racial interests

I saw nothing in the statement that said it was voluntary.
I was not being political. Just pointing out that what is said made it no longer voluntary.
Nope. If you’re a current citizen, wether by birth or naturalization, you have a right to VOTE.
Unfortunately candidates have only a few rules to run, but they must have money, matters from where.
Some (?) people have had their rights restored, but the bolded overlooks people who have lost their right to vote by committing a felony.
