Election cheating has been around for a long time and in many cases we just put up with it. Look at Chicago, everybody just expects it and to a degree laughs at it, sort of a national joke. Fraud and machines are everywhere even small towns, what's different this time is that a lot of it was pulled together with big money into a common cause that not only worked, but is seemingly invulnerable to investigation or prosecution. Are we headed to the entire country being run like Chicago or Tammany Hall? At the end of that is 1984 or the French Revolution.
I see mexico as the model for the future of the US having spent a fair amount of time there and " the speech of the chickens" is why.
The constitution solely empowers state legislatures to control their elections for federal office. If the state legislature is dominated by big city politics, such as in NY and IL, exactly how can you get those crooked cities to clean up the problem? If you advocate for more federal control of elections you are doing the Democrat/H.R.1 work for them. We don't need to wait to see how that bad idea could be used against usThis is the American people's fault! We just kept letting it happen until they stole a presidential election. Everybody knows that Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta, and most urban cities are corrupt. We joke about it, jokes about dead voting and the like but we never demanded it be cleaned up. We allowed this to get here, complacent, fearful of being called names, just a bunch of pu****s
To start with, they could pass legislation stating that although states have control of their own elections, their lack of controlling authentication of legal votes cannot overturn an election that effects the whole country.The constitution solely empowers state legislatures to control their elections for federal office.

You can't blame 'the American people' for something they do not necessarily have the tools and levers to control. Expend that angst brainstorming how the existing structures can be used creatively to change those conditions - and , no, I don't have an answer to that question
It is not the people's role to do the job, just to demand it be done. The dead voting for example is NOT controlled by the legislature. And I believe the Feds have the authority to investigate election fraud in federal elections and maybe all elections because of the violations of civil rights...The constitution solely empowers state legislatures to control their elections for federal office.

The SC did not want to have any part of this when suits were filed saying in effect that States have no standing to sue other States over how they conduct their elections even though it can have an effect on national federal elections which is the whole reason the suits were filed in the first place.To start with, they could pass legislation stating that although states have control of their own elections, their lack of controlling authentication of legal votes cannot overturn an election that effects the whole country.
They can cheat their own state and people all day every day if they want. When they start cheating ours, it's a problem. And here we are...
