Make the first Tuesday of November a national holiday EVERYOBDY gets a day off to go vote.
Open more polling places to keep lines short.
These instances will negate the need for early voting. If you truly can't see yourself getting to the polls under these conditions, then maybe it's not that important to you and you shouldn't vote.
Completely do away with early voting. No "mail in" ballots. Only qualified, verified absentee ballots - and you had better have a good reason for needing one.
If we must use electronic tabulation methods, ALL machines MUST be off line. Rip out the modems, wi-fi and ethernet cards. Only one USB port to download the encrypted results to a drive which is then delivered to the Secretary of state who is the sole keeper of the de-encryption method. Of course, this assumes the Secretary of State can be trusted.
Absolutely NO results get transmitted to the media until the count is FINAL. This would do away with networks taking upon themselves to pick the winner.
Everyone should contact your state legislators and demand some of these policies.
Early voting works for me and my schedule, which is completely random due to it being a consulting job for clients. If I have an emergency outage situation, I'm dropping almost everything to get my clients back up. Some of my clients are McDonald's franchisers, Liquor stores, and a few other places that run on holidays.
Also I was under the impression that Trump won a majority of the early, in-person votes. I might be mistaken, though.
Here's my idea:

I still want early voting.
So we can get cheated out again? No thanks.

Mail in votes weren't counted until after the polls closed in most states. That's when you saw the jump
Too fucking bad?
There's really no reason to be rude about it, but if being bitter is your thing, continue acting like a lefty.
