Oh boy, is there a misinterpretation here. Allow me to clarify a bit further:
Please Read Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. Ballotpedia does not address this.
I'm certainly Not "questioning how voting is handled in the US", just appalled by how Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan cheated their own people by making hasty changes leading up to the 2020 election, within months of it, and none of the changes were made by their state legislators. Some were changed by APPOINTED people, not ELECTED people, as is specifically addressed in Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
That indeed is a "run around." and precisely the alleged one to which is identified here.
The last line of yours is the most coherent: "They changed how they 'wanted' to do it based on the pandemic" Thank you, sincerely. You make my point for me.
WHERE IS THIS ADDRESSED IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION???
What is so difficult to understand that this is not okay. Uh, people are getting sick, so, uh we are going to hastily alter the way we vote into very questionable procedures without involving our ELECTED OFFICIALS in a full LEGISLATURE VOTE.
Those very changes you cite are unconstitutional, because only THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES THEREOF may make changes. One cannot say the oh, we can't have a vote on it for the pandemic, because many other states conducted State Legislators meetings and votes by ZOOM calls. (Both their State Houses and State Senates as locally elected legislative bodies)
Allowing a few ignorant states (identified above) GOVERNORS executive orders or State Supreme Courts (Politically Appointed judges) to make "changes because of the pandemic" violates Article II sect. 4. Hope that SPELLS IT OUT FOR YOU and anyone else
By allegedly CHEATING the U.S. Constitution & their own people, they cheated the value of the elections held by the other 46 states and what actually Unifies those 46 with the 4.
Total Chaos. More akin to a Marxist-democracy, rather than a democratic-republic that the USA has been until now.
This is not the first pandemic. Check 1918. This is just the first one where Elections: via voting laws and voting machines, and counting apparatus were introduced hastily, and under duress, completely created by the STATIST LOCKDOWN MANDATES imposed on the formerly free citizens.
