As 2022 nears an end, another election season has also come to a close. Time for second thoughts, and ideas about what to do to fix an election system that many Americans believe is irretrievably broken. As it turns out, voters have some very strong opinions about that very topic, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The recent midterm elections were once again marked by claims of voter fraud and possible ballot manipulation behind the scenes by partisan actors, including even election officials. So we asked Americans of all political stripes and demographic backgrounds what rules and practices would they support to make our electoral system more fair?
More specifically, in our online I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Dec. 7-9, we asked 1,094 registered voters to select among three possible reforms or rule changes: “Requiring voters to show a photo I.D. to vote,” “Stricter mail-in voting,” and “Banning ballot harvesting.”
The answers showed an overwhelming sentiment in favor of change.
But by far the strongest response was for “Requiring voters to show a photo I.D. to vote.” It garnered 83% support from registered voters, with 60% saying they would support it “strongly” and 22% saying they would support it “somewhat.” Just 12% said they would not support a move, with just 6% saying they would oppose it “strongly,” about the same as those who said they would oppose it somewhat (7%).

It either fixes the problem or the Republican party itself must die in order for the country to survive as we've known it.
Photo ID is meaningless when 20% to 25% of votes are cast in person on Election Day. ID only helps when you do not have mass mail voting.
They want their democracy back. They don’t want Schwab and Soros picking their leaders.
Require picture ID.
photo id is also pointless when you issue drivers licenses to illegals (California)
I vote for an election holiday (I’ll gladly give up Veteran’s Day in exchange), purple fingers and those who must have absentee/mail-in ballots are required to have coded ballots which can neither be duplicated nor harvested.
Patriots are remined that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had given ordinary voters the express constitututional power only to vote for members of the House, not federal senators or POTUS.
In fact, the states have never expressly constitutional given ordinary citizen voters the specific power to vote for president. Our power to vote for president is arguably not only an abuse of 10th Amendment state powers, giving naive voters the false impression that they actually control who the president is, but arguably gives renegade states an excuse to cheat the ballot box.
What patriots need to do is to put the Constitution's process for electoral votes in the court of public opinion to get voters up to speed with how badly the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties have trampled the presidential election process.
And remember, Trump hasn't finished draining the swamp until the judiciary is cleaned up.
And the politicians will all say the same thing, in twisted and convoluted ways....”NO! You “people” (they mean the average American) can’t have the old way of conducting elections back because WE,the politicians, have already decided for you that the new methods are better for us so...too bad, so sad”. The politicians and “justice” department have already taken nearly all of the rights the American people had right after the founding of these United States. You just haven’t realized it yet. Not pretty but pretty simple.
Irrelevant. The incumbents know they hold all of the power...they’ll never give it up...social media, $$$ or voting processes
stricter mail in voting?
get rid of it
back to absentee rules
Paper ballots in person on Election Day. Photo ID required.
Absentee ballots available upon oath or sworn affirmation only.
All ballots counted with observers within 24 hours of the polls closing. No excuses. Criminal penalties attached to any County officials who fail to comply.
Vote fraud in ANY form carries a mandatory 10 year prison sentence without the possibility of parole for a first offense. Second offense carries a mandatory death sentence.
Period.

Well as Stalin said it’s not who votes that count it’s who counts the votes!
Show up in person on Election Day. Show ID/proof of registration. No motor voter registration. No same-day registration. No mail-in ballots. No harvesting. No ranked choice. Purple indelible ink on finger. And limited use of absentee. Military or affidavit of being out of the area on Election Day. Clear the rolls every census year. Re-register at that point. Random sample addresses (minimum 10% per year) to verify they actually exist. Must be verified by representative of both parties. No vote scavenging from nursing homes without a legal guardian representative there.
CA Illegals get special licenses that are not used for voting. They look just like regular DL, but have a very small indication about what they are valid for.
But that works only IF everybody follows the law and the poll workers don’t cough and wink.
Well said.
Maybe it’s time to go back to the old mechanical lever actuated voting booths. Surely with the technology today they can be made more reliable and tamper proof, and the votes can be more accurately tabulated quicker than the BS system we got now.
Disagree, it has been the demcratic party who pioneered this in CA, the state that once elected Ronald Reagan as gov
that has engineered it. Democratic operatives there bragged how they would make this the national standard..
There is now a well-established Democrat machine that will harvest hordes of votes during “Election Month.” and until we get a handle on Until we get a handle on the VBM , vote by mail, election month for Dems and one day for us , it doesn’t matter who is on the top of the ticket, Trump, DeSantis they will lose.
Dems collect ballots from Dems for a month-sort of legal cheating-plus it allows the other kind of cheating-has nothing to do with RINOS and never Trumpers-I’m not fans of theirs but they dont have the firepower to pull this off-all Dems all the way
