@paul @Janne_O @mekkaokereke The USA is 50 individual states with a federal government that has limited powers (the biggest perhaps being national sovereignty in foreign relations). In terms of things like voting, you need to compare the USA to the EU, not an individual nation-state like Germany.

Is this a smart way to handle voting? Absolutely not. But unless we rewrite our entire constitution with a constitutional convention or a bunch of constitutional amendments, that’s the system we have.
