As an American citizen in a state that follows the constitution, I was just told I have no legal standing to protest against states that disregard the constitution. They can cheat however they want, and as long as enough of them do the same, their guy wins and our guy doesn’t.

It was about the states ability to sever from the federal compact. Slavery was just the easiest way to get people to die for each side.
