The judge needs to rule all voters who did the right thing within the timeframe allotted need to have their votes count.
Considering there's 60k voters that have mysteriously disappeared from the voter rolls, I'd say there's probably a lot of people who should have erroneously been removed from the polls.

Incidentally, Hillary's state-level DNC can arbitrarily remove voters from the precinct rolls for ANY reason whatsoever... like a desire to tilt the vote in a particular direction.

We need to have automatic voter registration upon everyone's 18 birthday.
Caucuses transitioned into primaries.
Closed Primary states shall accept changing party registrations up to 30 days before primaries, those registrations to remain valid for 1 year.
A national voting holiday.
All paper ballots hand counted in public.
Exit polling done by High School students for civics/humanities/social studies credits.

The state should continue to recognize the right to vote even if a person chooses to not vote. You are still a citizen with a right to vote, and you should not be denied arbitrarily and without just cause. What needs to change is you get dropped when you move elsewhere or die, meanwhile you get to vote if you so decide.
