- Counting machines should print on each ballot the running count for each race at the point that it counted that ballot. This would allow for manual sampling of N pairs of consecutive ballots to check that the counts never differ by more than one, and never by less than zero.
- Counting machines should be dead simple, and should be one per ballot style. We should go back to precinct-only voting and forget county-wide voting.
- Reconciliation is an absolute must -- as it's always been, but we seem to have stopped doing it in many places.
- Every day of early voting should be treated like election day: with results published for each day. This would reduce the risk of ballot stuffing after hours because one the ballots are counted for the day there are no ballot boxes to stuff.
