| This is not completely correct Article 1 Section 4 of the Constitution: 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_Stat... "Manner of Elections" certainly sounds like it would allow Congress to pass a law mandating the elections must be vote by mail, specifically for Senators and Representatives. This does not apply to the President due to states having the jurisdiction to decide how electoral college electors are chosen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Two_of_the_United_Stat... So Congress has partial authority, the question is if Congress passed a vote by mail law for Senators and Representatives, would states have other ballot measures or positions (Such as the President) that would not be vote by mail in the same election. |
