Federal takeover overdue

I actually agree but I don't see how the R's and D's could possible agree on how it should be done.
There should be some sort of standardization for nationwide elections.
A good start is to get rid of mail in ballots and only count votes done at polls or absentee ballots that have been properly applied for.
Of course right there D's will call that "voter suppression".

If absentee ballots are routinely approved as requested by all who might prefer to vote my mail, I personally wouldn't call that "voter suppression."
Suppression of registrations must also be addressed, however.
We had no trouble finding all eighteen year old males back when we had a military draft,
so while I would have personally preferred 21, except maybe for under 21 members of the military,
getting everybody registered shouldn't be a problem either.
This is consistent, by the way.
Eighteen year old military personnel are allowed to drink on a military base in every state.
I don't think 18 year old Americans in particular are mature enough to vote,
but if they can serve, so be it.

It's unconstitutional...
OK. As far as I know it's quite easy to register. Many don't want to be automatically registered because they just don't want to be registered. E.g., to avoid jury duty.

Interesting point.
In some places, getting out of jury duty is quite easy.
Perhaps not everywhere, though.
The voting rights act of 1965 made Jim Crow laws illegal by enforcing the 15th amendment but Scalia and Thomas ruled that the constitution prevented white christian males for staying in power.
Yeah, because the Federal gov in the U.S. is so great at doing things.
Just pulled the nation thru its first generational crisis since WWII, or did you think the private sphere got us to where we are now addressing Covid

Bah. Should have just let it roll. Corona was nowhere near as bad as they made out.
Never needed to be any shutdowns/masks/"social distancing"/spit shields or any of it.
In b4 your aneurysm kicks in.

The constitution leaves how elections are handled up to the states.

Unless you want to take The Daily Kos' word for it based on their research using Wikipedia...

HR-1 is a dirty trick that allows donors to give 1000 X more than they do now. I'm talking about the the 15th amendment which states “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”

No, but I have a brand new beautiful roof!
I am getting ready for what is coming as best I can.
