18. In DC
We can vote by electronic voting machine OR we can use a paper optical scanned ballot. I can start voting tomorrow, and all the way up until election day early if I want to. We can also register on voting day. We can vote absentee with no reason that has to be given. We need to expand voting rights, and modernize it. Instead of 54 hodge pode elections, we need one centrally controlled federal database with full transparency overseen by people from Universities, clergy, community leaders, etc.


But trust me, there are many ways to influence elections. For instance more voting machines in wealthy districts, keeping voting day to one day and on a Tuesday, the Electoral College, etc. Democracy is messy and not 100% perfect, but it's pretty dang good overall.
