Each state can run the election anyway they want. The key is that the state has to convene and certify their electoral votes in roughly six weeks. There’s roughly ten days after that for the certified votes to be recognized in DC and fully end the entire process.

Each state has the right to determine the Presidential election by its own legislative process...it’s own state house/senate. No one dares to do that today....but it’s always in their hip pocket.

Yeah, those high school history teacher never mentioned these parts of the process because it never comes up as a topic.

Congress determines the day, the states decide the manner. Not sure if an extension is the same as changing the date. That would be for the courts to decide I suppose. But I thought the article said they are allowed to extend it only one day. I see this backfiring on the Dems.
