Racism. The only reason the US clings to this foolishness, is racism.
It's not that hard to organize Federal elections. The us having 50 states is not a real obstacle.
It's intentionally made more complicated for "states rights" until you ask the obvious question, "States' right to do what?" The answer is almost always, "To be way more racist to Black people than the federal government allows."
