changing voting rules for whatever reason by bodies that are not authorized to do it is also disputable in courts. This what Trump team is trying to do. We all have observed how results changed in Pennsylvania when they started counting ballots received by mail in days after election. Some of these ballots were received after polls were closed and counted on the basis that they were mailed before the election day. After they were counted the mailing envelopes were destroyed thus mailing date can’t be verified at the recount. There are some similar concerns about other procedures.
I had mentioned earlier in the thread I had concerns about this and the Courts indeed should speak on this issue. This again is a 10th amendment Constitutional issue. I posted earlier my father's suggestions that the 10th amendment be amended, because States should have power over State Elections but NOT the federal election rules and procedures. I do not know if any of these lawsuits raised the constitutional issues or not or, if they were raised, whether there are any grounds to support them. My father believes, and I think he may be correct, that there needs to be an amendment to the Constitution and specifically the 10th amendment which on its face does not allow or provide for federal control, i.e., it allows the States to do what they want. Or there could be a separate amendment or legislation vesting a UNIFORM system of rules and procedures in the federal government.

The authority to amend the Constitution of the United States is derived from Article V of the Constitution. After Congress proposes an amendment, the Archivist of the United States, who heads the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), is charged with responsibility for...

I should add by way of disclaimer that Constitutional Law was one of my weaker subjects in law school. There was a question on the final exam that involved the 10th amendment and another that involved the 13th amendment, and I fucked both of them up. I did, however, have a scholarly article I wrote on the 4th amendment exclusionary rule selected for publication.
