Agree with that. It's a joke.
Different voting systems and different rules in every state. They should not have electronic voting systems because it's so much easier for people to claim they're rigged, unlike paper.
They should all have the same rules on postal voting and when votes are within the allowed window and not. They should all be allowed to count them early as Flordia did and we do.
I know it's not currently constitutional but they need to have federal elections regulated by federal laws and federal bodies. They cannot legitimately claim this is a matter of States Rights when they're electing people to national office. There is no reason to leave it up to the States how their electors vote when it impacts the entire country. They're not sending people to Washington via horse and cart anymore and the country is already far more federalised than their founders intended because it turns out a great many things are more efficient if they're unified.
