5. i think the best solution is open, transparent elections

non-hackable voting systems, full disclosure of donations (no corporate shell crap), etc.

personally, i think having a single election day is problematic. too easy to manipulate and capture a momentary swing instead of a real measure of what the people really want.

then prosecute electoral crimes (as hopefully mueller will be doing bigly). hopefully that will provide reasonable deterrence.

finally, f*** russia. sanctions and then some. they need to pay for messing with us. again, hopefully that will provide reasonable deterrence.
