3. Even an occasional 'hanging chad' would be better than this black-box system we're saddled with.

I'd like to see legislation that would-

1) Return us to hand-marked paper ballots until we can get our elections secured.
2) Require election software be open-source.
3) Ban private ownership of any election equipment.
4) Impose heavy prison sentences for anyone who alters votes, totals, or voting rolls.
5) Every U.S. citizen is automatically registered on their 18th birthday.
6) Vote by mail/early voting universally available.
7) Make election day a national holiday.

(Of course, any/all of this would require politicians who are serious about democracy)
