It's incredible that state election laws can apply to a Federal election.
Don't like the taxes in NY? Move. Hate the governor of California? Go to Texas. Each state can live or die under it's own stupid laws or lack thereof (i.e. San Fran), but you're always free to go vote out those politicians or go to another state.
However, when it comes to a Federal election? THAT needs to be governed at a Federal level. You can't have blue states making up their own rules when it comes to determining who gets to be President. That's fucking crazy.
Yeah there is. basically the argument of The State Compact to cede their votes to the popular vote. It violates the Supremacy Clause by having Congress be elected on more jurisdictional appeal than what is says in the constitution that every state is a republic. Similarly allowing fraud introduces an element of unnecessary nuisance that has nothing to do with legislating.
