Whether we like it or not, election reform is a topic that isn't going to go away. No, the 2020 election was not stolen and no, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. The issue was manufactured to help support Donald Trump's schizophrenic mind, his inner self that cannot accept rejection, and hence, the election must have been stolen.
Some of my takes on a few of the initiatives are as follows:
Voter ID: Yes, so long as obtaining a government issued photo ID is free and relatively uncomplicated. A video call with a facial recognition device to positively identify a potential voter should be doable.
Same day registration: No. There's no way the eligibility can be determined in such a short amount of time, at least not in all voting precincts. This should be left up to the states. Two weeks seems to be a more reasonable period of time.
Mailing out ballots w/o a request: I'm good with mailing unrequested ballots if they've voted within the past year or so, but I do not think it wise to send them out arbitrarily as there's too much of a potential of them falling into the wrong hands.
Limiting the number of ballot drop boxes: No. If anything, we should be increasing them so long as they can be placed in a secure location. I would like to see us wean ourselves away from using the USPS to handle ballots, and that means more ballot drop boxes.
I agree with Senator Manchin's opposition to his own party's voting rights legislation. Not only are some of the provisions very unwise, there needs to be some sort of bipartisan consensus if we are to restore the public's faith in the system.
