- honestly, i don't think our federal government taking over education would cause *nearly* the panic the idea of - Andie Nov 4, 12:47 6
  - maybe someone else can answer better. All I can say is it seems like states are - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 12:49 5
    - 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
      - One item on the ballot is national. The rest aren't. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 12:51 2
        
        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
