Regardless of how the 2020 Presidential Election plays out, one thing is obvious to any independent thinker — something must be done about mail-in voting.

There is a reason why Democrats fought so hard for the mail-in voting system that was used in 2020.

And there is a reason Hillary Clinton told Joe Biden that he should not concede under any circumstance on election night.

Mail-in voting should be something that is done only by necessity and not convenience. So, what should are some commonsense things to do…

Unless you will physically be unable to go to your polling place, you do not vote by mail. This obviously applies to the military.

Come up with a creative solution for one member of each party to attend a “vote” at long term care facilities.

Allow early in-person voting to those who wish to vote prior to Election Day.

Every single mail-in ballot or absentee ballot needs to be received AND counted prior to polls closing on Election Day.

There is no way anyone should know the results of Election Day voting so they know what the deficit is prior to counting absentee or mail-in ballots.

Every state must purge its voter rolls annually. Whether this involves more effort at the county level or not — there is no excuse to have someone who hasn’t lived in a state for four years still on the voting rolls.

Democrats will obviously want to expand mail-in voting because it makes cheating much easier.

Republicans will be attacked for “disenfranchising voters.”

The reality is people can get out and vote once every two or four years. That isn’t asking too much. Americans managed to do it for decades.
