5. Oh I disagree about leaving elections to the states.

Despite this Kobach crap we desperately need national voting standards, that is why we had the Voting Rights Act that SCOTUS gutted. The states, at least some of them, have been notoriously vile in this regard, and currently the same set of states that have been historically vile are currently being vile again. No, we need comprehensive reform of elections - how we vote, who gets to vote, how votes are both anonymous and secure, what role money plays in political campaigns, how we elect the president, and what constitutes "winning". But this commission is not interested in any of that, they just want to prove Twitler won by removing millions of Democratic voters from the voting rolls.
