1. A bit less federalism might do:

* national ID with photo, address, chip with biometric data...
* national election-laws
* automatic voter-registration when applying for national ID when reaching adulthood; automatic update of the voter-registry when moving to a different city

And a bit less high-tech might do:
* pen&paper only
* no scanners but instead counting by hand

And another day might do:
* elections only on weekends

2. write-in revolution

the primary system has already been gamed by fake money demands and corporatist control.
the revolution wont be televised but it can be organized.
even chaos beats corruption.
