The 2005 Carter-Baker Report
7 Ways the 2005 Carter-Baker Report Could Have Averted Problems With 2020 Election
They called on states to increase voter ID requirements; to be leery of mail-in voting; to halt ballot harvesting; to maintain voter lists, in part to ensure dead people are promptly removed from them; to allow election observers to monitor ballot counting; and to make sure voting machines are working properly.
They also wanted the media to refrain from calling elections too early and from touting exit polls.
All of this may sound eerily similar to the issues in the prolonged presidential election battle of 2020. But these were among the 87 recommendations from the 2005 report of the bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, known informally as the Carter-Baker Commission.
The bipartisan commission’s co-chairmen were former Democratic President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker, a Republican who served in the George H.W. Bush administration.
The commission was created to address voting and election integrity issues raised by the tumultuous 36-day postelection battle of 2000, which was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court decision that resulted in awarding Florida’s 25 electoral votes and the presidency to Republican George W. Bush over Democrat Al Gore.
Had Congress and state governments adopted many of the panel’s recommendations, the 2020 postelection mess between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden might have been avoided, said Carter-Baker Commission member Kay C. James, now the president of The Heritage Foundation.
“So many of the problems we’re now hearing about in the aftermath of the 2020 election could have been avoided had states heeded the advice of the Commission on Federal Election Reform,” she said.

Talk about being prophetic! But not one of the 7 common sense recommendations were adopted. If they had been, we would not be in this mess today.

I suppose that may have prevented Hugo Chavez and his million minions of dead Venezuelans from monkeying around with massive widespread voter fraud sinking Trump.

There is no mess today. That’s a figment of trumps supporters minds.
Biden won. Trump lost.

Any gulags that might have been, are rapidly fading as Trump fades.
Maybe Don Jr in '24 can, get 'em going again?
