Abstract: We study variants of the mixed finite element method (mixed FEM) and the first-order system least-squares finite element (FOSLS) for the Poisson problem where we replace the load by a suitable regularization which permits to use H1 loads. We prove that any bounded H1 projector onto piecewise constants can be used to define the regularization and yields quasi-optimality of the lowest-order mixed FEM resp. FOSLS in weaker norms. Examples for the construction of such projectors are given. One is based on the adjoint of a weighted Cl'ement quasi-interpolator. We prove that this Cl'ement operator has second-order approximation properties. For the modified mixed method we show optimal convergence rates of a postprocessed solution under minimal regularity assumptions -- a result not valid for the lowest-order mixed FEM without regularization. Numerical examples conclude this work.
