Next step is a nationally mandated, standard election polling and counting procedure, including an appeals body. In the US those voter rolls are maintained at the _State_ level, not Federal. It’s how the system has been built from the beginning. Each State maintains it’s electoral roll. We _do not have_ a “national voting system” in the US, we have “state/province voting systems”. Yes, it’s a legacy of when the States functioned more like separate nations (and two of the States used to be sovereign nations) but that doesn’t mean it’s entirely bad It has worked, more or less, up until now and I do not see a reason to change. For one thing, it’s a lot harder to corrupt and/or subvert 50 separate voting systems than to pervert just one. A fact not lost on the current crew. ---

Well if you discount the disproportionation caused by the electoral college, partisan interference in electoral boundaries, partisan interference in maintaining electoral rolls, partisan disenfranchisement of eligible voters, partisan interference in polling day voting, partisan interference in vote counting, partisan interference in election determination & partisan interference in election certification, probably not that much really. ---

Probably three of them: - partisan interference in maintaining electoral rolls - partisan disenfranchisement of eligible voters - partisan interference in polling day voting And the bellwether realisation regarding several other measures that the system can be fixed without necessarily burning the republic to the ground. ---

The electoral college is probably the most “broken” part of the system. All of the rest - partisan interference in electoral boundaries, maintenance of electoral roles, disenfranchisement of select groups, etc., etc., can (and do) occur in national elections in other nations. Past history indicates that under the current system(s) while some locations might be corrupt and oppressive (see Jim Crow South and the suppression of Black voting) other locations are less so (during that time the North, West, and New England weren’t perfect but less oppressive). The system may not be as efficient as some (for certain definitions of efficient) but I don’t see where it is “broken”. The fact someone despicable was elected doesn’t make the system broken. > [@penultima\_thule](#): > > - partisan interference in maintaining electoral rolls > - partisan disenfranchisement of eligible voters > - partisan interference in polling day voting I don’t see where nationalizing the election rolls and processes will be fix any of the above. Or don’t national-level elections in other nations suffer from “partisan interference” and corruption? I’m old enough to remember when there was one and ONLY one day on which a person could vote (outside of absentee voting, which you had to justify). That was the second Tuesday in November and that was _everywhere_. (A few party primaries were held at other times, but they were the exception, not the rule, and are to choose the candidates for the “real” elections in November). Now, early voting is widespread. This enables people like retail workers to actually get to the polls and vote in a reliable manner. What makes you think Trump and the billionaires will want to continue that, should they gain central control? As it stands now, multiple states are MUCH more even-handed and less partisan than if the Trump administration controlled all elections everywhere. Your proposal doesn’t seem to consider that Trump & Co. want control of the voter rolls to control who can vote - massive disenfranchisement of anyone who voted other than Republican, anyone seeming ethnic, anyone who _might_ be an immigrant or former immigrant now citizen, political/personal enemies, anyone who might belong to an “enemy” group. You’re talking about an administration that basically declared any dissent as “domestic terrorism”. Even if you could convince me that “nationalizing” the entire election apparatus in the US was a good idea I’m not convinced it’s a _good idea at this time._ ---

> [@penultima\_thule](#): > > No they don’t. Not with your democratic peers to the north. Not with your democratic peers to the east. Not with your democratic peers to the west. That’s American exceptionalism for you. True but the suggestion suffers from the same problem any system suffers - it’s a chicken and egg problem. If it is not established up front in a genuinely nonpartisan manner by people interested in actually seeing democracy work, it’s already doomed to fail. Worse, if it somehow still gets set up and is overseen by the sort of people it is intended to defend against, it can have the opposite effect and be weaponized against actual democratic norms. First, there needs to be actual buy-in from enough interested parties to have a chance at working. Simply bolting it onto the current US system would actually make things worse. And I guess you haven’t been paying attention but there’s very little chance of setting it up in a genuinely effective and representative manner with the way things are now. We need the general public to think there’s actually an issue to be addressed, and since you haven’t noticed, there’s more than a little delusion on that front. ---

trump has repeatedly talked about what a bad non-nuclearization deal the Obama admin made with Iran. In that way he has of making up stupid stories and repeating them ad nauseum, he’s often said “Obama cleared cash out of several banks and gave it to Iran, nobody had ever seen anything like it”. In my infrequent visits to Facebook I’ve seen right-wing cartoon memes like one depicting “Obama negotiating with Iran” showing Obama holding a white flag and a bag full of cash; and “trump negotiating with Iran” showing trump holding a bazooka. Anybody who has even a modest relationship with reality knows that the Obama admin did not pay Iran any American money, they simply unfroze $1.7 billion in Iranian assets in return for Iran allowing nuclear inspectors to ensure they weren’t pursuing a nuclear program. And the deal was working, until trump tore it up. Now the latest trump peace deal with Iran includes includes a ‘$300 billion investment fund to help rebuild Iran at the end of the war’. It’s just lies and hypocrisy stacked on top of lies and hypocrisy, all the way down. I know this is Raw Story, which some find suspect, but their source is a [NY Times article](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05/28/world/iran-war-us-trump-deal), which I don’t have a paid subscription to. > **[Details of new draft Iran peace plan shock analysts: 'You have to be kidding me'](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-iran-2676969583/)** > > Political analysts and observers were shocked on Thursday by new reporting on the draft peace plan that U.S. and Iranian negotiators are discussing.
