Sam Smith - The long voting lines in Texas and California reveal one of the major problems with voting machines: they don't work well if you don't have enough of them. Strangely, there is a partial solution that nobody talks about: a law that would require paper ballots in cases where the waiting voters rose above a certain number. Sure, they take longer to count, but at least the counters get to sit in chairs rather than standing in line like current voters waiting for machines.
They could use vote buy mail, with lots of free drop points like post offices and libraries and free standing election boxes. In Oregon where we started vote by mail a couple of decades ago, it has worked great.
