how to reduce voter fraud

 There are several ways the US voting system can be improved to enhance security and reduce the potential for fraud, while also maintaining accessibility for voters. Here are some key recommendations:

Improve voter registration and list maintenance:
-Implement computerized statewide voter registration lists that can communicate with other state databases to allow frequent exchanges and comparisons of information.
-Verify citizenship of voters by requiring proof of citizenship
-Register and verifying registered voters' citizenship status with Department of Homeland Security records.:

Enhance voting security measures:
-Require voter ID for in-person and absentee voting, with free IDs provided to those who cannot afford them.
-Limit and secure absentee ballots by reserving them only for those who truly need them.
-Ban ballot harvesting/vote trafficking by third parties to prevent potential mishandling or coercion.
-Allow election observers full access to all aspects of the election process for transparency.:

Improve election administration:
-Prohibit early vote counting to avoid premature release of results.
-Provide state legislatures with legal standing to challenge unauthorized changes to state election laws.
-Create a more stable and well-trained election administration profession.:

Implement audits and verification:
-Conduct risk-limiting audits after elections to confirm results.
-Use voting systems that produce paper records that can be audited.:

Enhance voter confidence:
-Address voters' concerns about election integrity through reforms that make it easy to vote but hard to cheat.
-Ensure voter registration lists are regularly updated and absentee ballots are secured.:

The key is implementing measures that enhance security and accuracy while still maintaining accessibility for eligible voters. Many of these reforms would require action at the state level, as states have primary control over election administration in the US system.
