Specifically? What’s broken about it? Is it that Democrats get more votes? Is that what needs fixed?
Do you believe we will have free and fair election in November?

It's funny how certain places results are tallied within minutes of the polls closing while others can take hours or even days.
That's not working. We can do better. We should strive for better.
It’s up to state legislatures how/when these votes are counted. Not you. Not I. There were lots of “one time” procedures used in 2020 to count votes because of Covid… however, nothing was shown to be @ikkegal” despite Trump abs his mouth…he lost where damn court appearance he made concerning vote counting procedures…yet ge kept flapping his guys instead of conceding.
See, you refuse to understand the differences involved in the grand scheme of our electoral processes.
Fifty states with different methods.
Some states do not allow absentee vote counts to begin until after the polls close.
Some states count mail in votes only if received by Election Day, others count them if post marked by Election Day.
I am familiar with several states who extend in person voting hours if people are in line. Other states, I cannot comment about.
There are many other differences, but you are adamant that all are counted immediately.
Not gonna happen.
As I read that…it appears that they are focusing on encouraging/using in-person voting vs other methods (such as mail in, etc). I don’t really look at that as voter suppression as much as trying to enhance voting integrity. This country has a federal holiday for a lot of things, why don’t we just have a federal holiday where vast majority of people simply go in-person to show an ID and vote? I realize there would need to be exceptions for military, shut ins that can’t physically go to vote (so absentee voting for them), but overall I think such a system of voting would alleviate a lot of concerns.

I like mail in voting because it is convenient for me. I get the ballot several weeks ahead of time. Additionally I participate in more local elections with the mail in ballot. One other aspect is that I can research candidates and ballot measures while I look at the ballot. I suppose you can do that when voting in person but it could potentially be seen as a bit rude taking up time in the voting booth while others wait.
Because there are exceptions. Once you acknowledge there are exceptions that exception will spread and eventually you will have exactly what we have now. For instance, you have people working away from home. Do you expect them to travel home to vote? Or on vacation. What about those working 24 hour shifts? Firemen etc. And, one more time. They system isn’t broken now. It works perfectly fine. Why change it?
If you can't find the time within 30 days of the election to vote or mail in vote, you're not a serious voter.
Not even remotely the same thing. I want people to have easy access to voting. We should make it easier, not harder to vote. But I want everyone's vote to count the exact same. A national office requires a national vote, state of residence shouldn't matter. Make the candidates earn every vote. A handful of swing voters in a handful of states shouldn't decide the presidential election.
