Editorial: Election oversight belongs to states
· Reported by Uvalde Leader-News
Bottom line
A Uvalde Leader-News editorial says the Constitution gives states primary authority over elections. It cites a Justice Department suit in Alaska over two Senate candidates named Sullivan, and President Trump's remarks about wanting to "take over" elections.
Why it matters in TX-23
The editorial says Uvalde election officials should refuse any federal instruction at polling places that lacks a court order signed by a judge. It names no local incident, date, or deadline, and it is an opinion piece.
