DC’s Election Takeover Is Unconstitutional And Impractical – Leave It To The States

In the minds of American voters, Election Day is our nation’s electoral Super Bowl. Hear me out on this — the vast majority of Americans’ lives do not revolve around politics, but most of us make an effort to engage as a voter and accept the final results. Similarly, even those who are not fans of professional football know when the big game will air and at least tune in for the halftime show and commercials. And of course, we all make sure we know the final score before heading into work the next morning. Being a part of the big game makes us feel connected — whether as a Super Bowl party host or just a conversation starter at the water cooler.  

The only thing that will overshadow the winning team’s headlines on Monday morning is a terrible, game-changing call by the referees. Regardless of whether our home team is in the championship game, we all want to see a good game — a fair game. We all want — no, we expect a fair election. Ensuring a good game on Election Day means keeping our voter rolls up to date, registering as many new eligible voters as possible, and maintaining the security of our election system so that regardless of whether or not your candidate won our nation can trust the headlines the next morning.
