There is only one solution where there will be free and fair elections in the United States.
Remove all electronic voting machines
Do not permit mail-in ballots to be accepted on or after election day.
Require all mail-in ballots to be counted and tabulated before live in-person voting commences
Restrict mail-in voting to US military, the disabled, or elderly past the age of 65.
Require photo id verification for mail-in ballot applications and live in-person voting.
If you allow electronic voting machines you can shave votes (flip, delete) and change election night reporting. It's not just hacking either. In Georgia the adjudication rate was reported over 60% in some counties permitting corrupt elections supervisors to massively manipulate the ballots cast.
If you permit mail-in ballots to be accepted on or after election day you can perform analysis of live in person voting and predictively determine how many mail-in ballots are required to change the outcome of an election.
It's not difficult to see how the fraud was committed, because the systems themselves were weakened to permit it.
Abolish all absentee/mail-in voting, except for very special exceptions for US government and military personnel stationed overseas, whose locations and/or duties make it impossible or unsafe for them to travel to the nearest US Embassy/Consulate or military base to vote in person. People who can't get to a polling place should not be allowed to vote, period.
One of the most important aspects of our voting system is casting secret ballots. Only truly secret ballots can be free of coercion or retaliation. Anyone who is filling out a ballot outside of a polling place can be coerced into voting as the coercer directs, or coerced into showing their vote with the knowledge that they may face retaliation. The coercer can be union bosses, abusive spouses, caregivers in nursing homes and assisted living facilities who are in a position to intimidate patients via threats of abuse or neglect (and in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, it's common for caregivers to "help" patients complete ballots, in some cases for patients who are legally blind and unable to confirm whether their ballot was filled out as directed). The coercers can also be neighborhood ballot harvesters, who insist on seeing the ballots before they're sealed in an envelope, and may threaten or arrange retaliation for "wrong" votes" or discard "wrong" ballots instead of delivering them as promised.
We need to harp on the fact that the only freely cast vote is an inherently secret vote.
Also: Signature verification and unique vote serial number which the voter and third parry auditors can use to fully trace the vote and verify it was counted correctly.
