The SC ruled…

I’m traveling and didn’t take the time to complete my thought.

While states are in charge of elections in theory, there have been more than one instance where the federal government steps in and dictates what states can and can’t do in elections.

The USSC ruling is just the latest example. There have been multiple voting rights acts over the years.

I have no reason to believe a Trump administration will stay out of the way states run their elections. To the contrary, I would expect a second Trump administration to significantly meddle in the states’ administration of their elections.

I am nowhere as sanguine as albaby in this regard.
