A couple ideas.
1. Tie funding and representation to how many verified people actually vote in each state instead of using other numbers. This way states have an incentive to make sure more of their citizens can vote as opposed to trying to minimize certain groups depending on which party is in power at the time. States will do all they can to get people to vote.
2. Have voting requirements and procedures standardized at the federal level as opposed to the state level. No more disparities between states, counties, cities, or precincts. Tie funding from federal sources to compliance and in extreme case award prison time to various officials who willingly disregard the laws. No more eight hour lines in minority dominated areas. If so give the governor three hots and a cot.
3. Make voting mandatory for all citizens. Australia does this. This one is more optional but would be nice. Allow the option "no vote" for people who do not want to choose a candidate. The idea is just to get them there in the first place. Softer. Give voters a tax break and make it mandatory to receive benefits from certain programs for the year.
