re: What will it take for the people to trust the voting process again?

You have to have single day voting and the process has to be run by volunteers (representatives from both parties at each precinct), not beurocrats.
I have worked elections, and when it's done correctly, it is nearly impossible to have any wide scale fraud. And it really isn't that big of a deal.
Unfortunately the other side simply doesn't want things to be fair and transparent. It's somehow an "attack on democracy"

I literally hate that phrase - and I immediately suspect the character of any unknown person who uses it.
We are not a democracy - every aspect of our founding and the first 200 years of our existence loathed the idea of 'democracy' = because that invariable devolves into "mob rule'.

Just find it curious that those who invoked the term "democracy" as much or even more than modern day liberals were the original Bolsheviks.
But only because they believed they had the numbers.
They were confident they could get enough of the proletariat to sacrifice themselves for the greater glory of the Revolution.
It didn't happen for them. So it's why their ideological descendants keep searching for their "new proletariat."
But unfortunately to their disadvantage, their preoccupation with "democracy" will forever elicit the images of two wolves and a sheep to the informed.
As for faith in the electoral system ever returning, it could be irretrievable.
As when either spouse cheats. They might patch it up and continue on, but doubt always remains.
