My Five Fixes For Voting

 1.  You close the poll station at 6 PM and start counting Presidential votes.  At precisely midnight....the count stops.  Either you finished the count....or the votes for President fail to be counted.  

The rest of the situations (governor, Senator, etc)....get counted after the Presidential count.

2.  Absentee ballots?  They have to be arriving three days prior to election day, or they will not be counted.  The will be counted 48 hours prior to the polling stations being opened.  That sum of votes will be announced by mid-day of the vote by the county judge.  

3.  ID required.  If you can't provide a state or federal ID (or passport), then you probably have a problem.

4.  Been in jail?  Once released, you get your vote back.  While in jail or prison....no vote.

5.  If you double-voted in some way?  Just one single extra vote?  You get taken to the state prison system for two years, or you pay the county 'offended' a sum of $25,000 per vote.
