What need to be done to restore faith in election, is to do the following

1) In person voting with an ID.

2) Paper ballots only.

3) No computers or software involved in the counting of ballots WHAT SO EVER!!!!!

4) No kind of pencil or pen allowed in the room where ballots are prepared for counting.

5) Appointed observers from both parties allowed in the ballot counting area.

Why would people not have any trust (faith is the wrong word) in elections? Has someone present actual evidence that stands up in court that there are problems with them?

If people like you started actually paying attention to what Trumps team says in court, vs what they say in the press conferences you would have faith in the elections system.
Pro tip- they don't say the same thing. One is under oath with penalties for lying, the other is not. What side of their mouth do you want to believe?
 
Anyone that does not support those 5 points must be planning a crooked election. Like the one we had in Nov.

No, the way to steal an election is to do just what Trump is doing. Start casting doubt on it months in advance lie in public about it and in private try to enlist electors to go against the will of the voters.

Posting something this horrifically stupid should be grounds for immediate deportation.

PS: there were observers from both parties

And no mass mail out ballots. Anyone who cannot vote in person should request an absentee ballot and abide by all the safeguards.

Your partisanship is showing. I lost faith in the voting system once several states rushed through legislation to mas mail out unsolicited ballots. They are just too open to fraud.

Uh.......nope
 
There is absolutely nothing wrong with our election process

Absentee/mail in voting has been around for decades with no problems

Mail in voting should become the most common way of voting.

Only ones who are against it are the party of voter suppression. The reason they are against it has nothing to do with voter fraud. They know the more Americans vote the less likely they are to win.

How is my Partisanship showing here? Ironic given the screen name you choose.....

Of the Trumps two faced approach to this what side do you believe?
The one in court where they face repercussions for lying, or the circus press conferences where they do not......

What "crooked election"? Has someone presented evidence that there was corruption during the election?

You claim this, but is there any evidence of any fraud due to unsolicited ballots?
 
Explain why you are against the safe guards I out lined. Be specific.

No computers, and no pencil and pens. Pray tell, how is anybody supposed to tally votes? Or is that the whole point?

Where is the evidence that photo IDs would prevent the minuscule amount of vote fraud? Anyone who claims that fraud is a serious issue in voting doesn't understand statistics at even a basic level because the current amount of vote fraud would allow a company to qualify for ISO-2001 certification if those were manufacturing defects. Dell, IBM, Intel, Boeing, and others spend hundreds of millions of dollars per year on quality programs to achieve those levels so when some dipstick says that vote fraud is a serious issue that they exposed them as both partisan and ignorant of statistics.

The fact that a photo ID is an unfunded mandate is well understood. If we needed a photo ID then they should be issued from the board of elections with a photo on our voter registration card, but that would not work for the intended goal of the GOP's support of voter disenfranchisement, which is the point of mandating a photo ID to vote.

Voting at home on a paper ballot is just as secure as voting in a central precinct.

No computers, and no pencil and pens. Pray tell, how is anybody supposed to tally votes? Or is that the whole point?
An offline scanner would work just as well and be absolutely secure.
 
You didn't see a problem with mail in ballots?

Is there any evidence they were a problem? Perhaps evidence that wasn't thrown out in court for being circumstantial or hearsay?

Explain why your "safeguards" are necessary.

While you are at it, name a ballot counting area where Republican observers were not allowed.

So You say.
Everyone else with a brain thinks it is nonsense.
Oh and your last condition was met, or didn't you know that....
And by the way, we know there is no way you will ever admit trump Lost, fair and square, so why would anyone address your concerns?

The ballots are put in a simple counting machine that has no soft ware.

Safe guards are necessary for a clean election.
 
Still no logical reason to be against the safe guards I listed.

You have evidence the current safeguards don't work? Perhaps you have a court case where the Trump administration has presented evidence of significant voter fraud under the current system?

No reason to change the current system when it already effectively prevents voter fraud.
