Some good news. Michigan Secretary of State Candace Miller, a Republican,
announced yesterday that she's forming a special committee to evaluate
Michigan election procedures.

 Miller also suggested
the possibility of changing the date of elections to a weekend, or having a
period of several days during which people could vote.


Several states have early voting, where people can vote ahead of time without a 
reason (as opposed to the restrictions for absentee balloting).  This 
essentially spreads the election process over the course of a couple of weeks. 
Perhaps this is the model that other states should adopt.
