The Constitution.

10th amendment says the federal government only gets to do things delegated to it by the states

aka states rights

aka come and take it

aka get fucked federal government

because we are fundamentally not one big country, but instead are 50 sovereign states

our election system wasn't updated to reflect the very strong central government that arrived after the civil war

so we have a powerhouse of a federal government that still needs to be validated, legally speaking, not by the people but by the states

Voting is run by the states under a mandated federal date, per the Constitution. That's how federalism works.Theoretically, anyway. Extending the last portion past the counting deadline is why this nation is royally fucked

You are not going to like it, its part of the federalist principle. A republic of states fostering government closest to the people. Look at what has happened to federal legislation. You really want that goat fuck dictating the rules of your vote? I hate what Democrats and oligarchs like Soros and Bloomberg have done here. It is so much easier to corrupt at the top central control , choke point. They could influence the legislation and bureaucrats with a few million dollars of pocket change instead of the hundreds of millions they need to influence in 50 state governments.

Once there’s enough Mexicans and Muslims, they won’t need to cheat.

U.S. states were / are a lot like EU countries. Lots of autonomy. The federal government doesn't control everything like it would in say, France. It only has a certain sphere that it's supposed to operate in, and the rest is the domain of each individual state. This is good because it allows different areas to self-govern themselves as they wish within reason, while major issues (eg. bill of rights) are non-negotiable.

For awhile now however, the federal government has been grabbing power using things like the interstate commerce clause to control what would traditionally be a state's sole responsibility to handle.

Anyway, basically states can choose electors however the fuck they want. These electors then get together and cast a ballot for each of their respective states. Mostly this is done via popular vote, although some states split their electoral votes, and others recently have proposed things like casting their electors for whoever wins the popular vote nationwide. As far as the country is concerned, a state can vote however it wants to and its up to each state to determine how that will be.

That's what kind of leads to the clusterfuck of 50 different systems for determining votes. However, it also prevents stuff like the federal government ramming insecure electronic voting machines on the entire country and using those to steal every election.

Democrats wont allow it. Now you know why.
