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.
