The structure of elections is an imperative element in the formation of the United States. This unique arrangement is one of the reasons why this union is distinct from other nations. The sovereign states within this union have maintained their liberty and sovereignty to manage their elections, protecting them from an overbearing central government. The added an amendment to the federal Constitution guarantees citizens' right to vote, ensuring it cannot be denied by the government. The federal government does not have the authority to impose electoral standards on the several sovereign states. In this book, you will discover how states control their elections, how the national government has attempted to undermine this control and has made significant power grabs. Ultimately, no matter the extent of these undermining efforts, this power remains with the states. Article I, Section IV, Clause I"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing [sic] Senators.Article II, Section I, Clause II"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
