    So because we have shit states who race to the bottom means we can’t have states control their elections? Ruling by the lowest common denominator is a a recipe for garbage.

      We just had a president calling up state leaders to try and reject the winner of the election.

      No one took him up on it, primarily because there was no legal basis to do so.

      If a state can remove a nominee before the election even starts, that would NOT be good for us. We’ve seen time and time again how political factions will use any leeway they have to solidify power.
