Stämmer inte, delstaterna kan ändra lagen så länge den inte går emot konstitutionen. Konstitutionen säger att de på den dagen man ska ha allt klart inte efter.
Kan du förtydliga vad du menar med den sista meningen?
Här kommer ett citat ur artikel 1 ur konstitutionen som behandlar valprocessen:
” Section. 4.
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 Senators.
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day.”
Och ett från artikel 2 om hur elektorerna ska utses av delstaterna:
”Section. 1.
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.”
