Even if there haas been on impropriety, the impression that there has been has upset a lot of people.
I understand that it gives more people the opportunity to vote but I think that a better solution would be to hold election over one weekend. Twelve hours on Saturday and twelve hours on Sunday. If you can't fit that into your schedule, you just don't care enough.
There would have to be mail in ballots for people that are out of the country or away from their homes but those should have to be applied for and should be a minimal amount.

A MUCH better solution would be to REQUIRE voting as the Australians do. In Australia, if you DON'T vote, you must pay a penalty in your yearly Federal tax form. So, I understand that they get close to 100% election participation. Now, that IS a country and a system that I could be proud of. That's a no-nonsense country!
