The election was rigged. The rigging failed.

86. I think that the universal mail-in ballot is probably the best approach to work from

Things seemed to go well here in NJ, where ballots were mailed to all registered voters. I don't know, but I think all counties used business reply mail envelopes and all set up collection boxes, usually at the municipal buildings or other public property locations where they could be monitored.

I'm not sure how the Uniform Commercial Code originated, but we need a similar set of laws and regulations to standardize voting laws and regulations across the US. Perhaps the legal profession could set up some organization under the auspices of the State Attorney Generals, Secretary of States and State Legislatures to formulate a Uniform Voting Code. Then we would at least have a standard set of rules and regulations to publicize to voters and to teach in schools.

Another good move would be to separate the Federal ballot for President, Senators and Representative from the State and Local ballot. This would enable a standard, simple Federal ballot that would be very similar across all counties of a State and which could be processed and tabulated more easily and reliably. You could likely make it a normal sized page, scan it with regular high-speed scanners, and use software to process the images for the marks.

Finally, the US Postal Service should be mandated to segregate the distinctive ballot envelopes at pickup and, if they are mailed within the county, directly route the envelopes to the county election center.
