Look no further than 2022 to see why it doesnt matter if some places do it well. At least under a federal mandate those that didnt do well would have a protocol to be held accountable to without the Sec of State being the arbiter of right and wrong.
Believe me I have very little faith in centralized govt and I suggest this with the utmost hesitancy but look at whats happening.
With so many different moving parts right now in so many places operating under different mandates its literally impossible to stop the cheating....or even prove it.
There is a problem in Arizona because the people who were elected didn’t pass good election laws. Those were Republican politicians.
The federal government has more money to give, so there is more incentive to buy politicians working for the federal government. So if Republicans elected at the state level didn’t pass good election laws, Republicans elected at the federal level are less likely to do it.
If there are going to be national election laws, businesses who want subsidies from the federal goverment will find candidates that act like the perfect tea party candidate. Once elected, these candidates will make all elections in the country easy to win for the Democrats.
I think the right reaction to the current problems is not to ask for the federal government to fix things. The right reaction is to improve the local government, reduce the legitimacy of the federal government, have a massive tax protest by not paying taxes, and secede. Secession can be by state, or all red counties could secede and form a new union.
