This seems like a non-sequiter. My question is, so what? The matter is straitforward. If states can't be trusted to provide transparent information then, especially if those states fall along one side more than the other, the system is untrustworthy and there's no reason to humor it neither by the federal government nor by the side that isn't obfuscating its information. There's no legitimate reason for federal elections to not be the most secure elections by design.
