Also we could have each region certify its results according to regional statute that would take away some of the additional work around the election.
Ignoring the fact that its probably unconstitutional, having 5 different standards of counting votes is never sensible. Also the sheer incompetence of Governors such as 9iron should tell us that that isn't feasible.
I have discussed this idea with Joe once, placing the Regional Senate election in control of the region, allowing the SoFA to focus on just the Presidential election. Joe had a concern about this but I can't remember what it was.
