It is a feature of US elections that they are far more decentralized than any other country. To your point, the people conducting the elections in Oregon and Nebraska do so as employees of their respective state governments and not as Federal representatives.
I suggest that you and other commentators in this thread read the Elections Clause [1] and historical background on it. You can't just address flaws in a system that has been running for 200+ years with a flippant "stop complaining". It would require Congress to pass a bipartisan voting law, and recent efforts to that effect have failed because of lack of bipartisan support [2].
