Yes, and Georgia refused. American elections are a lot more complicated than you seem to believe. There’s plenty to worry about in specific locations, but the federal government has no direct control over any of the voting processes or policies.

The Federal government has some direct control and lots of indirect control. Relevant right now is the horrible Save America act.

It doesn't. This is a power specifically granted to states. The Save America act is unconstitutional.

More than half the SCOTUS is corrupt and bought off, and the Republican Party in congress is just rubber-stamping what Trump wants. I don't have a lot of faith in the word "unconstitutional" anymore.
