The Constitution gives state legislatures, not a government agency, the power to make election laws.

This doesn't seem how you amend the Constitution.

Let’s see...

We are a Representative Republic, and by the Constitution, so are the states. People vote for and elect state legislators. Legislators vote for and pass election laws, including voter ID. SCOTUS upholds voter ID laws. The unelected agents of the DoJ, including the AG, try to interfere with and cancel laws passed by the state legislatures.

Who’s the biggest threat to our democracy (representative republic)?

“A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void.”

With these words written by Chief Justice Marshall, the Supreme Court for the first time declared unconstitutional a law passed by Congress and signed by the President.

Marbury v. Madison (1803)

A centralized voting system will allow them to “change the results of an election” with the press of button.

I am sure that has nothing to do with the bill, though.

Democrats’ Bill Would Give The DOJ Veto Power Over State And Local Election Laws

i would expect nothing less from the

Rrr-Democracy Pirate Party.

our ship of state has been boarded, our republic has been hijacked and a mobocracy called the Rrr-Democracy Pirate Party has been instaleed by hook and crook.

maritime law once had a yard arm remedy for that sort of thing

If they ever get the trifecta again, we’re done as a country. First thing they will do is get rid of the filibuster and then it’s off to the races. Yes some think we’re done already. You haven’t seen anything yet.

Every candidate running for office has a right to due process.

In my mind that requires photo ID or other positive confirmation of identity, such as by sworn affirmation by a neighbor or relative with photo ID.

“only 29 percent of California’s registered voters will turn in their [mail-in] ballots, falling below the current record low of 31 percent in 2012.”

“2022 saw a 33 percent turnout”

The purpose of the secret ballot is to make it impractical for people to sell their vote.

Mail-in ballots defeat the purpose of ballot secrecy.

Mail-in ballots should only be allowed in cases where a person could not otherwise vote.

I believe ballot secrecy is required by international treaty.

“Article 25
Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity, without any of the distinctions mentioned in article 2 and without unreasonable restrictions:
(a) To take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives;
(b) To vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors;”

DemocRats have been ignoring the Constitution since the beginning. It is the nature of all governments to seek to centralize and increase their power.
