re OC #2 No uniformity in national elections HAVA and Election Assistence Commission (EAC.gov) were very modest initial efforts to codify and normalize our elections. Do you object to HAVA and EAC.gov? Do you object to NIST creating standardized, uniform weights and measures? If you support NIST but oppose EAC, why? What's the functional, practical difference? re OC #3 No national election management body There's a lot of daylight between our current non-system and nationalized election administration. We don't even have a nationalized election observers, reporting on key metrics. Rhetorical question: How does one manage what one does not measure? "except for the meeting of the electoral college" That Foreign Policy did not advocate democratic reforms, like abolishing Electoral College, shows their restraint. The obvious reforms they did suggest are less controversial than standardized accounting rules (FASB's GAAP).
