brestugo 08/12/23 11:28:49 AM #13:	MobileProphet posted... While this is true, it seems like a pretty easy bill for a president to sign off on. Unfortunately, the Constitution specifically gives states the power to regulate "time, method and manner" of elections.

In most cases they've only ever abused that power but it's specifically a state power. That's actually iffy. When it comes to federal elections, Congress can set a standard for voting. They can't tell a state how to do a local election, or not to gerrymander local affairs, but when it becomes federal, they absolutely can. --- lolAmerica <cite>ClayGuida posted [p:975409142] in Why are ma...

You would think a president thats at least Democratic would push for this knowing how some states are looking for ways to stop people from voting. Mail in ballots are a state issue. So long as the state does not do anything with ballots that's otherwise forbidden by the Constitution (most notably the 14th Amendment's "equal protection" clause), they can do the type of thing you're talking about. Unless there's a legally determined failure to follow Constitutional procedure, any change regarding mail in ballots must be initiated within the state, either by legislature or the voters. That's how it works. That's it. --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:975409331] in Why are ma...
