    All of that is for the state. The federal government shouldn’t care at all about who’s voting in those. The states would have their database that puts the residents with their proper sheriff’s vote and mosquitoes commissioner. (Also just residence based)

      The US federal government does not operate elections. States do, and they all do it a little differently. However, so far as I am aware, each state only requires you to register once, and applies all the different districts from your address. Even so, US House districts also depend on your address within a state; those are not statewide offices.

        My man, you are not comprehending the words that I said. If you want to stand up and defend fascism by means that is your choice. But what was being talked about here were better options.

        Let me ask you 1 question: do you believe the United States should enact the right to vote?

          He’s not “defend[ing] fascism;” he’s explaining to you how voting works. The government does actually have a legitimate need to know which Congressional district you’re in when you’re voting for your Congressional rep! That applies with the state administering elections as it does now, and it would still need to apply in your hypothetical scenario where the Federal government administered elections for Federal office.
