The preconditions for any crime are motive, means, and opportunity.  In case of election fraud, the motive will always be provided by the desire to win the official count, and the means will always be provided by whatever voting method is used.  The only way to prevent election fraud is to prevent the opportunity.

In my judgment, based upon three years’ experience auditing a rigged presidential election, the solution is this: paper ballots, counted by hand, in full public view, at the polling place, on Election Night, no matter how long it takes.  In this way the counting takes place before any chain of custody questions have arisen, which effectively prevents the opportunity for wholesale election fraud associated with central tabulation.  If this seems old-fashioned, so be it.  When one is on the wrong path, a step backward is a step in the right direction.

Make them steal elections the old-fashioned way, by altering ballots, destroying ballots, or stuffing the ballot boxes right at the polling places, in precinct after precinct.  This requires the collusion of large numbers of poll workers, both Republican and Democrat, and runs the risk of exposure at any polling place where we, the people, are watching.
