The Founding Fathers, flawed though they were, understood certain things.
Which is why, the EXECUTIVE has absolutely no control over Elections in the Constitution.

We have a very de-centralized system of elections, with THE STATES being in control of the elections.

There was a point to that.

Hand it over to Mr. Bouie:

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

there will not be “swing states” in november. there will be, depending on national conditions, anywhere from 25 to 75 competitive House races. they will be in states led by republicans and democrats, and the key voters will likely be people who swing between the parties.

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

anyway i know how many of you hate that i’m so vocal about this and think it makes me a naive shitlib or whatever. but again, i think the best thing you could do for yourself here is to get involved in election administration where you live.
