Before some of you say BULL shite let's remember we have only one election for a national office - the presidency.

You already don’t understand how it works.

I'm not talking about how electoral votes are determined, just the process of individual voting itself.

Instead of having 50 different states deciding how their state enacts and enforces laws for an election for a national office things would be simpler and fairer, imo, if all states had to abide by the same law to elect a president.

Those states are the entities actually participating in the election of the President. Individuals do not vote for POTUS. You vote for a particular party’s electors for your state, and the electors with the most votes are certified by your state government to cast their EV’s according to the laws of the state. That is why the state gets to set up its election however it wants.

States can have their electors vote however they want. There is nothing in the Constitution requiring a state to give their EV’s to the candidate winning the popular vote in their state.

One more federal "regulation" isn't going to kill us. In turn it would actually eliminate many state "regulations".

Oof
