Note that in his long propaganda piece he never directly quotes the article of the constitution Im question, which says...

“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”

This is about as clear cut as anything in the constitution.

He calls... “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof”, a “radical theory”, where in fact it is the literal text of the constitution.

Please note that the Federal elections clause (which you quote correctly) applies to elections to the House of Representatives, and (as amended) to the Senate.

It is proper to refer to these elections as “federal elections”

But notice that Article I §4 does not make reference to the appointment of Electors at all. This is a power reserved EXCLUSIVELY to State Legislatures.

Thomas Wolf is a domestic enemy.

“Thomas Wolf is the deputy director of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice.”

The Brennan Center for Justice:

While the group purports to be “nonpartisan,” it has received substantial funding from George Soros-associated organizations,[5] and is mainly funded by left-leaning organizations, having received substantial funding from other liberal groups including the Kohlberg Foundation, Tides Foundation, Proteus Fund, Joyce Foundation, Schumann Media Center, Public Welfare Foundation, and JPB Foundation.[6]

This liberal financing has turned the Center into a cog in the liberal legal movement. The Center pursues a left-wing issue agenda, supporting liberal activist policies on ethnic preferences, restrictions on political campaign speech, and protections for foreign terrorism suspects.
