The U.S. Constitution provides for a highly decentralized election administration system (Art. I, section 4.1). This means the security of elections is ultimately the responsibility of state and local election entities such as secretaries of state, election directors, county clerks along with the assistance of the Federal Government – ODNI, DHS, FBI. There are more than 6,000 election subdivisions nationwide in the US.
Is this the right system? If yes, explain why? If not, suggest a better system.
