Universal voter ID. It's not racist, it's not evil, if you're too fucking lazy to go get a government ID then you're too fucking lazy to deserve to vote.
IQ tests to vote: I know that those get a bad rep cause of Jim Crow and shit but here's how we do it you ask the voter "Do you believe Russia hacked the 2016 election? and "Do you believe God Emperor Trump has connections to Jeffrey Epstein" if they answer yes to either question they are stripped of their ability to vote.
Complete ban of mail in votes and I'd even say early voting can fuck off too: If you were too damn scared of the fake pandemic that only killed 9K people, most of which were gonna die anyway, then your vote isn't worth it. What we should have done instead was done what many stores did: give the first 2 or so hours of the polls exclusively for seniors. That way the at risk people could still vote.
We have problems with our system but we also have problems with who can vote.
And the last 4 years have made me agree with that. I admit, I used to buy the 'everyone should vote, everyone should be able to vote' Kool Aid, now I say you should be 25 or older (before anyone calls me fascist, I am only 23, so I would willingly strip myself of the right to vote), have to be a net tax payer, not be on any government assistance (INCLUDING government student loans), while I'm a fan of adding you have to be a parent, the last one is one I'm willing to compromise on since that ones not as black and white as the rest. Under these rules, you'd have skin in the game to want to vote better, if you can't be on government assistance then you're not gonna vote for a gib, and you'd be older and more developed. I was a fucking Bohemian when I was 18 and have came a long way as I got older and got sober, I wouldn't make some of my decisions at 18 today cause I've had more life experience. Why I believe in the kid thing is because if you're a parent, you have a future as for if you're childless you don't have that link to the future. That's why Angela Merkel feels ok with letting Rapefugees in cause she doesn't have a daughter who's as risk of being raped by one or a son who could get killed by one.But with the parent stipulation, I do get that that one can actually be impossible for some people so that's why I'm willing to compromise on.
I think 25 is the right age to vote. You should have lived long enough to see and understand the way the world and the system really works. I was a naive idiot until I got up into my twenties.
Yeah, like I said, I'm 23, and I do think I came a long way from when I was 18 but I still think I have a little more growing up to do before I think I'm a full 'adult'. I've been on my own since I was 21 but I'm just now getting the steady job and the steady place to live and the steady life instead of the picking up an odd job or two to get by and living the partying, Bohemian lifestyle like I did for so long. That's part of why I think 25 would be the perfect age, cause at that point chances are you've grown up more than enough to be trusted enough to vote.
Here's what we need:

And your prefrontal cortex should be fully developed by that age
Just voter ID plus mail-in ballots on request only.
Inked fingers.
We have a better chance of dying with Trump than any of us do of dying of the China AIDS though.
