True, but the country has got along pretty well for a couple hundred years without a uniform system. And if you take the position (and make it the most important issue that there is) that "there is no way to ensure equal protection" (which is probably true) then it opens up EVERY election to attack from the courts. This could result in chaos and anarchy, just what the commie libs would like.
