I think it is an important question: what are states for. I don't mean the historical sequence of circumstances that led us to have the system we do, but why we might or might not want them. Why not just designated administrative districts of a federal government. One thing that Trump's presidency has taught me however, is that, despite the shenangigans of some of the election apparatus in individual states, it was much much harder for Trump to subvert the election process than it would have been had everyone worked for him.

On other hand the election fraud that lead to election of Biden might not have been possible with stronger central government. Just think of same rules through the country. No postal voting. Mandator IDs from central database, updated live based on movement of citizenry.
