Americans have high standards for themselves, and should have high standards for their voting systems, too.

There are no standards. If one was to observe what standards are in place from state to state or from local to local, all the so-called 'standards' would be different in each location, and would depend on who has control (demonrat or repub) of the voting place. This will never change, no matter what the feds say or do.
I'm sure the Democratic majority will come up with something soon. /sarcasm
They already have standards. If a democrat wins an election they have a mandate, if a Republican wins it is voter fraud. Where has everyone been?
