Harvard's "electoral integrity project" ranks US as 57th best system in the world. A better system would help build trust in federal government which is needed especially in divided nations. If there is no trust, nothing significant can be achieved because politics is about collective action. Other nations have implemented the following improvements.
Make voting a national holiday. Automatic voter registration. Tighten campaign finance laws. Set caps on spending for each candidate. Add more seats for large population states that are underrepresented. Establish an independent electoral commission in charge of deciding boundaries and running federal elections.

How about this. From Stalin in 1923. World history is repeating itself in the Land of the Free!
“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.”
Does that quote look familiar? Very real and familiar in the early morning of 4 am in cities like Milwaukee, Detroit and Philly.

AFTER SOME DEEP DIGGING I FOUND THAT MANY OF THE PRINTERS DOING THE PAPER BALLOTS INDEED PUT "INVISIBLE" MARKINGS WHICH DO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE TRACKING DATABASE WHICH KNOWS PRECISELY TO WHICH PRECINCT THE BALLOTS WERE DELIVERED AND THIS MEANS THAT THE FULL HISTORY OF THE BALLOTS FROM THE PRESS ROOM OF THE PRINTER TO THE COUNTING ROOM OF THE PRECINCT AS WELL AS FLAGGING FRAUDULENT BALLOTS DESTINED FOR A DIFFERENT PRECINCT.
"NOW IT IS UP TO DOJ TO TAKE ACTION AND VERIFY EVERYTHING,AND ARREST THOSE RESPONSIBLE. SQ-THEY MUST ALL BE ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH TREASON AND SEDITION IN MY OPINION!
The following is from the front page of Steve Quayle.

In this election, Joe Biden's national popular votes could very well surpass Donald Trump's by four or even five millions votes. Yet, the U.S. Supreme Court holds a 6-3 lopsided advantage to the conservative, really? And this 6-3 conservative teeming highest court will call and rule our health care, women's reproductive rights, immigration laws, and this election outcome? Is this how the balance of power working in this democracy? This thing has to realign for the sake of the people.

the house and Senate along with president signature can dictate how many justices sit on the supreme court.

This has gone back and forth until 1869 where it has stood at 9 ever since. However courts numbers are laws it easier to change that number than the electoral college.

Its right there in the constitution.... President has responsibility to select Supreme Court judge... Can't blame people dieing during presidency.
Sure, any president can nominate a SCOTUS with the support of Senate majority. It's the disproportionate power under 6-3 in favor of conservatism, while the majority of Americans have picked a Dem president, more than 4 or 5 millions in this case. I foresee a realign coming, not sure how or when. But I see it's coming.

The Jan. 5 two Georgia Senator runoffs mean a lot in terms of the SCOTUS dominance.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Demands to stop the vote count. Baseless accusations of fraud. Claims that the opposition is trying to “steal” the election.
Across the world, many were scratching their heads Friday – especially in countries that have long been advised by Washington on how to run elections -- wondering if those assertions could truly be coming from the president of the United States, the nation considered one of the world’s most emblematic democracies.
“Who’s the banana republic now?” Colombian daily newspaper Publimetro chided on the front page with a photo of a man in a U.S. flag print mask
Trumps rhetoric embolden nations.

A case brought to that level after district and appeared have been exhausted is staggering itself. 500000 Graham ponied up won't even touch 200 hours for the law firms involved.
Mean time weir in Nevada is now being charged with hacking the post office data base. By citing 3000 cases of potential fraud.
Trump going to need some more lawyers as well.
Throw in a chief of staff test positive for corona
It's been a very bad week.... very bad. Ugly.
And rnc is going to need so much more.
Trumps aim is the supreme court .

does anyone believe that many people actually voted? The sheer increase alone is suspect. Sure times are tough, but In 2008 the economy and stock market were collapsing and plenty of people loved and hated obama and yet much much less votes. There are millions of eligible voters who will never vote in their lifetime, everyone knows a few people like this. There is a possibility that alot of votes came from people who don't even know they voted. Seems most on here aren't open to critical thinking, they just love or hate trump/biden blindly.

Fundamentally wrong to have too much power in lifetime appointment of judges to US supreme court. Early framers decided against mandatory retirement age because people don't live as long back then. Now no nation gives outdated life tenure except the US. Nor 32 of 50 states according to National center for state courts. Fixed term limit provides advantages. For examples, protection against sudden deaths and old judges developing dementia. Also less premium on finding young nominees in favor of judges with substantial track record.

The world is in utter disbelief of US election. They never imagine US would look like a banana republic where a dictator undermines legitimacy of electoral process to stop the people's voice. State troopers must protect election workers against armed thugs. And over 120,000 Americans are infected with coronavirus yesterday. Under Trump, US is truly broken. Future presidents must fix his mess.

They mailed everyone a ballot that was postmarked. Question is did that junk mail het filled out by the one intended.
Let's face it votes have worth or Jefferson wouldn't have given an edge to slave holders.
Own 5 men you got 4 votes.

Thirdperson,
Can't fix anything in US Supreme Court when Mitch McConnell remains the Senate leader. That 6-3 lopsided conservatism SCOTUS will stay for decades to come. Or even 7-2, or 8-1 if GOP regains power in the White House and the Grim Reaper has the last word four years from now. This country isn't a 6-3 in favor of GOP in terms of the general population.

Harvard's "electoral integrity project" ranks US as 57th best system in the world. A better system would help build trust in federal government which is needed especially in divided nations. If there is no trust, nothing significant can be achieved because politics is about collective action. Other nations have implemented the following improvements. Make voting a national holiday. Automatic voter registration. Tighten campaign finance laws. Set caps on spending for each candidate. Add more seats for large population states that are underrepresented. Establish an independent electoral commission in charge of deciding boundaries and running federal elections.
