Machines switching votes, fewer polling places and long ballots can all be defeated by voting early.

Maybe the US needs to adopt the ballot system we use here in the UK. Our ballots are submitted on paper where we write an X against our preferred candidate’s name. The paper ballots are then manually counted and double counted under strict supervision. No option for tech to sway the vote.

That’s the most accurate, but would take weeks or months to count all US ballots. They won’t wait for that.

I would argue it is all relative: the larger the electorate, the more polling stations and more people doing the counting. I doubt it would take months. UK electorate is circa 45million. We get the results by the morning after the ballot. US should be able to do the same due to the relative nature.
