Each state currently has different ways for voters to record their votes and for poll workers to tally those votes. States have different regulations on who can vote and how they can vote (by mail or in person or both?)
It was bad enough what happened in Florida vis-a-vis Bush v. Gore. It turns out that even within the borders of a state different districts had different methods for recording and tallying votes.
It was truly a difficult undertaking to attempt to recount an entire state. How much more difficult would it be to recount an entire country?
I think examples such as these make it clear that not everything should be centralized. Unless the feds force every state to purchase the same voting machines from the same vendor and require all states to homogenize their voting procedures, the result of any nationwide recount would be ambiguous at best.
“One of the ways we can fight for federalism is by opposing attempts to either do away with the electoral college or undermine it..”
Screw that stuff. We’re way beyond following law or negotiating with the criminal fascist goons occupying Washington.
Conservatives need to get off their fat butts and elect a pro-2nd amendment, Constitutional sheriff in their counties. That gives you legal and armed muscle to take on the state-sponsored terrorists in DC, including the ATF, FBI and EPA cowards.
