This would be awesome.
And politicians who oppose an honest election process should be lawfared severely.
While it may be tempting, a national voting standard sounds like the kind of thing Democrats would do.
Have their elections audited.
Simple paper ballots.
Strict criteria on absentee ballots.
One week early voting 4 weeks before election
Photo ID
One day to vote in person on Election Day
No drop boxes
No ballot harvesting
If there is a “national standard” for elections, then it is only a matter of time before federal courts force the whole process to be based on the loosest and most easily corrupted national standards for voter registration, voter eligibility, etc.
This is great.
Every vote from qualified citizens will count
Equally
I get the concerns about state's rights, but this is too important to leave to the vagaries of individual state legislatures, as polluted as many of them are with Leftists. And this deals not only with the electoral process at the voting level, it should address the holes the founders unknowingly left in the Electoral College, where the Left has worked overtime for decades to exploit and subvert.
By the way, I don't fully blame the founders for those holes in the handling of the electoral college. John Adams summed it best when he said: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
What we have seen from the Left, the Deep State, and the Assistant Democrats (RINOs) is a rampant deviation from the the precepts inherent in that statement by John Adams.
I am of the opinion that the terrible holes in the election process are wholly and irrevocably the result of deliberate action and deliberate inaction by the Left in order to enable abuse and corruption of the electoral process.
There are two fundamental tenets of our Republic that cannot be violated without damaging or destroying the foundation of this country:
We, as Americans, agree to be governed as long as these two elements are observed in theory and in practice:
Those two elements comprise the foundation, the sacred contract between the governed and the governors in this Constitutional Republic.
And that is it.
Our government can (and does) violate any number of things without endangering the Republic, but violating either of those will invalidate every principle this Republic was founded on and will eventually turn us into an oligarchy, and then into a totalitarian state in the end.
And in the last eight years, the government has violated, or allowed the States to violate both of those tenets. What is not punished, is allowed. We must create law, and we must enforce the law, or we are lost.
WE MUST, VIA FEDERAL LEGISLATION OR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, CODIFY IMPORTANT FACETS OF THE FEDERAL ELECTORAL PROCESS. WE CANNOT LEAVE THIS UP TO INDIVIDUAL STATES.
Federalizing election laws will allow the left to change them when they have control, ensuring nobody can oppose them.
It is a states’ rights issue and our work need to take place in each state individually, at the grassroots level.
