Part of the problem is voting is run at the local level. I'm not sure the federal government even has the authority to tell states and counties that they must use a particular voting machine.
- undersuit 10y agoSo you make it so the states and counties and cities and voting districts that want to use a different process for their elections don't have to use the federal machines for anything but federal votes, but you still allow the federal machines to be used for down-ballot processes.
- eridius 10y agoYou're still assuming that the federal government has the authority to dictate the voting process used for federal elections. IANAL and I don't actually know what the legality here is, but my assumption is the federal government doesn't have that authority, given that if it did, it probably would have exercised it by now.
