No, I am not confident. Our system of voting should be nationalized, not by the states, and it should be Instant Runoff Voting which would help end the myth of "lesser of two evils".
Hmmm, I don't know about that. I think maybe we should go back to the way things were laid out in the Constitution (before the relevant amendments).

It should also have a verifiable paper trail (for both voters to take home, as well as a paper receipt for the ballot count) as well as be in one format from coast to coast.
Well, I don't have a problem with a uniform ballot format with a portable record (for the voter) showing that the voter voted (and maybe even how he voted).

I don't think most people are confident with our current systems process, for many reasons. Our failures in election rules, standards and recent history of foul-ups is world-wide now, and its time for serious change.
Agreed. Of course, even something as simple as equal ballot access and equal access to inter-party political debates would help.
