        and, for certain things, i would assume that makes sense. it's a NATIONAL election. it should be NATIONALLY run. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 12:50 4
        
        it's a combined election. you wouldn't have different sets of people for each item. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 12:52

        And just like the IRS collects federal taxes and the state collect local taxes, states still have say in down ballot items. - musubi Voted For Change 2 weeks ago Nov 4, 12:54
        
        and even that is kind of not national, becuase we are voting for electors. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 12:52
  - hard to explain I guess? States historically resist giving up control to the feds. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 12:45
