If we are fixing the election process.
1: The only individuals who have standing to challenge the laws governing how an election is to be run are candidates who have chosen to run in that election and they have 10 business days after they enter the race to file that challenge, otherwise they explicitly lack standing to challenge the underlying process and the courts are explicitly barred from providing them any remedy save enforcement of the law as written. The law may not be modified, set aside, or otherwise altered by any court outside of challenges filed in that ten day period. In addition, the courts must render a final judgement on any pending challenge to those laws no less than 30 days before the first ballots are to be provided to voters; failure to do so removes the courts ability to alter those laws.
2: Voters must register at least 45 days before the date of the election, as 44 days before said date the final voter roll for the election will be compiled by taking all registered voters and comparing that list to various databases to remove those who are dead, duplicates, or moved out of state. Anyone so removed it to be contacted at their provided phone, email, or address and told that if they were removed in error they should contact the election board.
3: Voters swipe their state issued driver's license at the poll to check in. If they claim to lack such an ID then they may provide their Name, Address, DOB, and fill out a provisional ballot that will be counted if no one has voted with their state ID when the polls close.
4: All voting machines must generate a paper receipt either by a ballot or by the computer printing one out.
5: Every election, 10% of precincts randomly selected will be fully audited with their paper receipts being compared to the electronic tally.
6: Every precinct must report to the election website for the state within 1 hour of their last ballot being cast the exact number of ballots (separating provisional and normal) that they have. Failure to report within 90 minutes triggers an automatic audit of that precinct.
7: Before any votes are counted, the state must provide the total number of valid ballots cast in the election. Provisionals are to be checked and approved/disproved before any counting occurs, as are any mail in ballots. Only once the total vote pool is determined is any tabulating of the results to be undertaken.
8: Counting occurs.
