Until there is a system that is immutable, verifiable, and open, elections are just smokescreen for the selections.
Immutability: The votes cannot be changed or manipulated by anyone from the moment it is cast.
Verifability: Anyone who voted should be able to check that their vote and only their vote was counted as cast.
Openness: Anyone should be able to total up the votes, and any source code should be available so that anyone can check for bug, vulnerabilities, and manipulations.
Even then... Why should a White ever be ruled by a non-White?
He's not young enough to be a boomer. He was born in 1933, and probably the latest in a growing line of examples why we need age limits for politicians.
While elections administration is primarily a state responsibility under the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 4), the Elections Clause explicitly gives Congress the power to "make or alter" state regulations for federal elections (times, places, and manner). This includes measures like voter ID requirements for federal ballots to help ensure integrity.
If fraud in one state (e.g., non-citizen voting or lax verification in large Democrat-run states) affects the national outcome, it directly harms voters in every other state; including red ones like Texas or Iowa. Federal elections aren't purely "state domain" when they determine national representation and policy.
The alternative to targeted federal standards (like the SAVE Act's proof-of-citizenship for federal voter registration) isn't just leaving it to states; it's risking outcomes swayed by the most permissive jurisdictions.
Don't forget we need to change the laws to only recognize citizens for our electoral college/congressional rep distribution. Between that and voter ID, the left is fucked and will have to let the Overton window come back a lot.
He (or rather the chief of staff that's working him like a failing meat puppet) has already walked it back.
I'm guessing there was rather significant push back.

Worthless, who cares if i can verify my vote if 3 fake ones can be cast for every real one.
That is why there is the openness requirement, and the requirement to be able to verify that the open software is infact the software used.
Iowan here - sometimes we like Chuck, sometimes he proves he's still a fuckin' boomer.

And term limits
Yeah, but Senate is literally Latin for elder council (Same root as senile). Term limits are enough to limit forever-dinosaurs like this.
retire grandpa
I can't say I think he is wrong. Elections are the domain of the states. The federal government should stay out of elections.

And speaking of voter id I support citizenship cards as a direct requirement to vote.
