55. Just imagine if Obama or Biden said they wanted to "take over" the federal elections away from States

But I agree totally!
Every other democracy has national standards and operational methods and securities that are met across their countries for the sake of national security of the election process.

Democrats could publically agree on those points....as long as the exact standards are the same for Blue and Red States. Take advantage of it AFTER Democrats take the House in November. Trump may be ripe for the picking. Sore and licking his wounds.

And by the time the national election takes place in 28, with Dem House oversight, the US could be on its way to a much more secure and trusted system
