Sundance can be so depressing. A few days after the election, Cochise County wanted to hand count their ballots. Hobbs sued to make them stop, because the law is that if ballots are recounted, it has to be by the same method used to count them the first time, and that was by machine. This all relates to the case now before the SC about elections being managed by state legislatures, or anyone else. I sure feel like my civil liberties have been infringed, which ought to be a federal issue.
They wrote a law mandating that machine counts have to be verified by… another machine count? WTF?
I thought machine counts were for convenience and hand counts were for verification. AZ really needs to revert those laws.
That's what depressed me about Sundance's article, knowing that this is exactly how Hobbs et al screwed us there legally, and that the Legislature had set it up. Which leads to the SC case: normally I would be in favor of letting the Legislatures make the rules, but some are going to make rules that benefit their party, and set up the parties so they can't be directed by the constituents.
He is a bit of a downer at times, but in contrast to doomers, sometimes the truth hurts. In this article, I think he is pointing out how our constitution is broken as it relates to elections.
The real problem, in my opinion, is that republican state legislators are just as corrupt as those in DC. The state legislatures could have fixed 2020 before they sent electors to DC. But they all caved.
As bad as it sounds, we're approaching that point where the framers of the Constitution would have expected a patriot to put a bullet into the official breaking their oath office.
The uniparty is definitely aware of this, which is why they keep going after the 2A.
Imagine if no one would dare cheat in an election because they wouldn't be able to walk down the street for fear of being a part of the governement that the citizens decide to abolish.

Don’t think so, violates equal protection under the law:
The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment prohibits states from denying any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. In other words, the laws of a state must treat an individual in the same manner as other people in similar conditions and circumstances.
Your particular example is correct u/doug1956 👈🏻
It is also true that as long as state legislatures do not specifically break federal laws, which are purposely relatively limited in scope, as all powers not explicitly granted to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved for the People, or the States, then every state can come up with whatever election system they want in their efforts to select federal representatives.
This is why some states allow ballot harvesting, some have voter ID, some don't, others allow extensive mail-in balloting, etc. Many of these systems are ripe for massive fraud. Even if these systems end up being used for fraud, the federal government is silent, according to the US Constitution, on being an arbiter for their resolution.
States have to decide their own election systems and also enforce them. As I mentioned in this thread, that's where 2020 was ultimately stolen. State legislatures and state Supreme courts failed the country.
Most of the battleground states had republican controlled state legislatures, and these RINOs failed the People miserably.
