I would like to see all national elections put under complete Federal control. [View all]

I believe that the races for President/VP and Senators and Reps should all be taken from the hands of the States.

There should be one nation wide voting system for those offices. Mail-in voting would be ideal for this.

The GOP would hate this idea, as larger voter turnout never works for them. That's their problem that they caused.

Let the States handle their own offices.
