Oh, thank you! I did misread that as "interstate." Yes, that's a bit more sinister as written, isn't it.

I'm not a lawyer, but it makes zero sense that states get to set the rules for federal elections. State and local elections, go nuts (within federal laws like the Voting Rights Act, you cheating chucklefucks in red states) but federal elections are by definition nationwide. It seems obvious to me they should be run exactly the same way in every state, and it shouldn't be controversial, because its common fucking sense.

Am I missing something here?

If they really want to ensure voter integrity, they'll lock themselves in a windowless room without ventilation and pipe in the exhaust from a running car.

Nobody actually likes that snivelling douche, hence the gleeful pouncing.
