From my understanding Election Day is a series of Federal, State, County and Local elections held every year. The elections are either run by the state and or county. Each state has its own rules on now the elections are run (i.e. Polling Times, type of ballots, voting rules, voter ID, etc)

Will it make sense to a have Federal elections run by a Federal Body, and have a Federal Election held on a separate date from the state and local elections.

The rules regarding voting will be the same throughout the county.
- Have a independent body design congressional districts. District must compact and free from 'Gerrymandering'
- Electoral College will be chosen by Congressional District (The Maine and Nebraska) in every state
- Have the polls close at the same time (10pm EST). However there is a 6 hour time difference between EST and Hawaii.
- Have paper ballots (scannable ballots)
- Keep the ID rules the same, and voting registration constant.
