"... unconstitutional..."

A reminder that states are sovereign and don't run their elections according to the Federal Constitution. This whole idea that states can't determine the course of their elections because it's "unconstitutional" is farcical.

If states were sovereign, then they could secede, and we already settled that issue. The U.S. Constitution is the law of the land; see the Supremacy Clause.

They are sovereign on this matter. There are no laws in the Constitution to micromanage the state elections (that's where the "Supremacy Clause" would come up). This simply isn't a matter of the US Constitution.
