You are correct: lack of voter turnout is perhaps the single most biggest problem complicated by voter ignorance and inability to distinguish between news and fabulous propaganda. Lack of voter turnout is a long standing disgrace. Refusal to creat a Federal holiday on Election Day is a thinly disguised ruse to suppress the vote. I can think of some measures that might ameliorate this existential problem but will not include them now - they are quite obvious and my guess apparent to most sentient citizens. Still, Garlands failure to act is a serious problem. He would have been an excellent SCOTUS Justice, but he is far too timid as a prosecutor in not prosecuting powerful, wealthy, former, and present, office holders committing the crime of sedition - often as conspirators.
We still do not know that he has failed to act. The J6 committee got underway well before DOJ was ready to indict. After the public hearings, he should either indict or appoint a special prosecutor. A special prosecutor might be best in order to help depoliticize an indictment of a former president and help defuse the firestorm such an indictment is sure to ignite.
The Senate unanimously passed the bill designating Juneteenth a Federal holiday. I think they should have made election day a federal holiday instead. Meanwhile, HR 222 is still sitting in committee. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/222/text
