If your criteria is even partially dependent on what would likely be passed by Congress this year, then the answer of none of the choices you’ve offered would be the only valid option. Just read the contents of either H.R.1 or S.R.1 and you’ll find the Democrats in control of Congress, who have unilateral control of what is in any proposed legislation that Congress may fashion, have zero interest in any of the options you’ve listed. Just the opposite actually. Same goes for any so-called election integrity legislation coming out of any Democrat controlled state such as California, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, etc. Sorry, but that is the hard truth.
Now if you limited your poll question to either just Republican controlled states, where all these options are still possible, or states where neither party has complete control, then your poll is at least valid. Under either of these conditions, there is room for some give and take to set priorities for real voter integrity legislation. Otherwise, this poll is just another exercise in wishful thinking, so people can vent their outrage over the direction this country is going with Socialists back in charge.
Personally, I would have thought that this week’s poll might have centered around the dismal performance Biden gave at his first so-called “news conference”. Where even under the highly choreographed conditions of getting all the questions submitted well in advance and the White House staff typing up pages of answers for Biden to read from on the podium, Biden still managed to make several gaffs, lose his train of thought and even become combative with the friendly reporters a number of times.

Voter ID for both in-person and absentee voting goes without saying and only sending a mail-in ballot to those who request a mail-in ballot also makes sense.
However, my favorite is not on your list. Georgia has just criminalized providing either food or water to any voter who is stuck in an hours long voting line. I’m not sure if this law will stand up to judicial scrutiny where it applies to federal elections but I’m sure that old Strom is smiling down (or up) at this one.

You have to develop a failsafe system that cannot be hacked and it has to be a standard system across all voting fronts. Today, we have a mishmash of voting rules and machines and processes from venue to venue that can never be completely secured as a whole. The government is not good at developing this kind of system because there will be too many pay-offs and under the table corruption. Perhaps ballots need to have a watermark and can be produced by only one source which is monitored by an independent agency. All voting machines have to be the same and operate under internal surveillance and control. There might have to be a series of cross-checks to verify true votes. Won’t matter…the Commie-crats will destroy the voting process and declare themselves the winners of ALL elections and nobody will do anything to stop them.

The left is so adamant that fixing the election laws so as to eliminate (as much as possible) fraud that they make it obvious they are cheats. A state rep in Georgia was arrested for hammering on the door where the governor was signing a bill to do just this. Since their favorite theme is claiming racism they used this to rile up the lib voters. Give Georgia lawmakers credit for not bowing to their demands and pass this law.

Voter ID is very important and should be a required. I live in Idaho and we have one of the best vote systems that I know of. However, we do have some major problems here. We have no way to determine if a voter is a US citizen. Our drivers license should provide this but I don’t think that it’s something that would be easily accomplished. Also, Idaho is one of a very few states that does not use the provisional ballot system. A provisional ballot should be used for election day registration if that is legal in a state. Provisional ballots are ones where the voter claims a proper residency for voting but has no ID at that time. The ballot is held separately and the address and other claimed items are verified before it can be counted. Provisional ballots can be held and not counted at all if the quantity of them do not equal enough votes to change any race or ballot measure.

The final goal must be fair and honest elections or we are no better than a third-world cesspool. Anything required to achieve fair, honest, ethical elections (which we are failing miserably at today) is paramount. Maximizing participation in our elections is far less important than making certain they are honest, and the Democrats are not interested in honesty proven by the horrid HR-1 bill Pelosi is pushing. If it passes we will never have another valid, ethical election is this country.
