"I think that’d be stopped by judge due to elections are run by individual states."

Not looking to flame you, but by any chance have you ever heard the phrase "SUPREMECY CLAUSE."

States can say make voting sites have bathrooms, etc. But the Federal government can write the rules as they see fit. EXAMPLE: Voting only to take place on XYZ day.

Elections Undecided by Midnight are Void & Preempted by Federal Law– Foster v Love (1997; 9-0 Decision)

“When the federal statutes speak of ‘the election’… they plainly refer to the combined actions of voters and officials meant to make a final selection of an officeholder… By establishing a particular day as ‘the day’ on which these actions must take place, the statutes simply regulate the time of the election, a matter on which the Constitution explicitly gives Congress the final say.” Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67, 71-72 (1997).

*THE DAY* – THIS IS VITAL

The voters vote. The officials count. These combined actions form “the election,” and the election must be decided on *the day*. States that failed to make a final selection of officeholder by midnight after Election Day have violated the statute, subjecting the nation at large to the very evils Congressionally mandated deadlines were drafted to prevent.

Federal Election Day statutes were designed to curtail fraud, and to infuse a prima facie sense of integrity in our electoral process. But these States – in failing to obey Congressional deadlines – have flagrantly attempted to preempt federal law.

Maybe someone can point me to when this SCOTUS Decision was over-turned? I certainly didn't get the memo!!!!
