First of all what Trump wanted and what many many many Americans wanted was an audit to show whether or not the election was legal and fair – although we know it was not. In a legal election poll watchers and challengers are in place to assure both sides that things were done fairly. It is a legal requirement in (I believe) all states that they be allowed access to ensure that the election is fair. The unusual circumstances were no excuse to take this ‘refereeing’ role out of play. You find a way to make it work. College football games are stopped and plays reviewed multiple times to make sure that play is fair and what’s at stake – a damn football game. This is an election where the results are a hell of a lot more important. When in Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit we hear and see that thie rolls of poll watcher and poll challenger were essential thrown out along with apparently the need to obey many other laws put in place to ensure fair elections, we all suspect that the reason was much less than honorable. When election oficials fight tooth and nail to prevent fair and legal audits again this does not foretell of fair practice. If Biden won by such a margin why the secrecy????
I would like to see Independent administration of elections at the state level.
Also would like random auditing of precincts, particularly those that are hotly contested.
It is a mistake to dismiss concerns of fraud or system irregularities, especially when the process is changed only months before the election. If citizens are willing to swear affidavits at the risk of imprisonment for lying, their allegations must be taken seriously and fully investigated. The results of all investigations must then be communicated by the independent, non-partisan administrators, not by a partisan media.
I detest the predictions and east coast results being relayed long before the polls close on the west coast, and think that should be stopped. Nothing reported until the next morning, when results are more finalized.
Absolutely! If this isn’t done and/or proved that it wasn’t necessary, there will be a continuing underlying opinion that voting in the US is now not reliable.
We do not need reform, we need a supreme court.
Gohmert had it right in his lawsuit against pence.
Which is it for electoral votes?
Constitution- state legislatures send the votes
Electoral act of 1878- state executives sends the votes.
I believe the constitution is the supreme law of the land. Is it not?
And should be addressed by the supreme court.
Dual slate of electors sent. Who determined what candidate got the votes?
If unity is to be attained, then this is the issue.
The article is highly flawed.
More precisely the opinion of the member of the Cato Institute and Carter Center are highly flawed and push a selective narrative that the election wasn’t stolen. Well here’s a news flash, it was Stolen!
The clear language of the State Constitutions were ignored by both the State Officials and the State Judiciary! Election process were changed without State legislature approval! SCOTUS failed to censure the judicial and partisan overreach!
Fyi, the majority of European nations have Banned Postal Voting as it is known to be the highest at risk for fraudulent manipulation! The Carter Center is fully aware of this but doesn’t cite it in comments to the lapdog media!
Furthermore, neither person cited mentions the role of highly manipulated election software that caused so much of the fraud and the hundreds of millions of dollars that was spent for this highly suspect equipment!
Why didn’t we have issues with election software in Texas or Florida?
Election reform will never happen under this tyrannical liberal administration! The only reform will be to ensure a single party rule!
There won’t be any “real” elections in the future unless we (perhaps some politicians) address the Election irregularities that happened in 2020. The fact that states broke their own laws and people who did NOT have the constitutional right to change or alter state laws still have not been held accountable is a very sad day for the USA.
The question asked was “What might election reform look like?”
The probable answer is “like Florida” for red states and “Like cook county” for blue ones.
For a clear technical answer on what could be done look at my outline on using a simple computer system as the model around which to develop voting procedures that work – see winface dot com – .

How about PROSECUTIONS for those who break Election Rules/Laws.
Fines, Jail and for Illegal aliens Deportation.
Bingo. Unfortunately, there ARE laws against and penalties for voter fraud but they are not utilized so there is no deterrent.
Agree!!!
first thing is you have to GET RID of all dominion machines/ computers and software.
Otherwise, the FIX is still in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must love America to have serious election reform.
Just one example: Is open borders good for America??? How can anyone that loves this Country vote for a party that wants open borders.
America will not survive unless the MSM and social media care about America and not a party.
I found a blog article that actually proposes an interesting and viable solution to this problem of election reform, while still following the Constitution: https://www.dhaugh.com/2021/01/05/report-on-us-voting-system-requirements/
I will never vote again on a machine that runs on closed software.
