Our Founding Fathers were not stupid
—
Alas, they never imagined that US-born Americans would repeatedly vote for people in high office that wanted to destroy America lock stock and barrel.
Our state went to closed primaries a few years back (red state). There is flak about it every election (blue media) but we have stood strong.
I believe Texas once had a system wherein if you voted in a R primary you could not vote in the D primary and vice versa. When you voted in a primary the clerk stamped a “R” or a “D” on your voter card. So if you were to vote in one primary and tried to vote in another primary, technically the poll folks were not supposed to let you vote again.
Not a foolproof system but it limited the cross-over vote a bit. Also not sure if that is still the case today.
They can. And they should. But state election law changes are subject to approval of Congress.
Not according to the Supreme Court.
And I’m pretty sure that the states make up their own laws. Issues in the past have been things like Congress meddling in state elections and election laws and the lawsuits that have arisen from them that ended up in federal court, for some reason, even though they’re state issues.
But, feel free to show me where the US Congress has jurisdiction over state voting laws. Unlike others on this site, I don’t have a problem learning something new.
and....
early voting
ranked choice voting
ballot harvesting
and yet, here we are. They’re getting away with every one of these.
also...
same day registration
When you provide the SCOTUS case, the legal reference you are asking of me will be part of the case. Look it up yourself.
If what you’re saying is right then there’s no reason for Schumer and Pelosi to want to pass a law that federalizes elections.

If what you say is true then it was the US Senate and US House of Representatives that wrote last years new election law in Georgia.
The one that did t really do much except for codifying the two biggest mechanisms for fraud, mail in votes and drop boxes.
Look it up for yourself
They’ve done this in Texas for decades. It’s one of the reasons it is so hard to get rid of worthless RINOS like Cornyn.
yeah, the old ways, where folks who were neither repub or democrat, could only vote in the general election, after the primaries were finished. And then, if you were not “an independent”, you had no vote at all.
oh yes, on Long Island, NY, if you were registered to the other party,, yes, you had to show your voter registration card, you were not hired.
One of the most stupid ideas ever implementedDemocrats and progressives did it.
You can thank the Lion of the Senate for that with his voting rights B$.
The midterm fraud here in Georgia is in full swing.
I have two suggestions:
1. Whichever party you vote for in the primary, you MUST VOTE FOR THAT SAME PARTY in the general.
2. When the Dims get their choice of which opposite party nominee they want...THAT party plans for and implements a write in vote for the person they REALLY WANTED.
