Bullshit.

Florida's electoral incompetence and corruption (probably) handed the 2000 presidential election to Bush. Because of that, we wound up with the Iraq war, and a mind-boggling amount of American blood and treasure (not to mention Iraqi lives) wasted on lies. Florida's inability to conduct free and fair elections has tangible consequences on me as a Minnesotan. So yes, I want to impose some standards and values on their elections, because their elections lead to MY president.

Very civil. I love reading HN so I can read "Bullshit." More intolerant authoritarianism is not the answer to your issues.

Pointing out that bullshit is bullshit is not "intolerant authoritarianism". It's simple honesty.

I'm not suggesting a federal takeover of elections. I am, however, pointing out that some states, like Florida, are running elections so badly that it harms other states.
