Should the federal government take over elections.

In view of the problems reported (both true and false) long lines, voting after polls are closed, machine malfunctions, etc .... would it be better if the feds took care of this issue.

Flordia and even my own Arizona had problems this year. It seems that every year there are mail in votes and others that never seem to make it and there is always a article bemoaning the system.

Would it be better to have the feds run the presidential election?

    Nov 16 2012: I was always told to turn and run whenever someone approached me and said, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." Elections should be administered by the 50 state Governors operating in accordance with mutually agreed-upon regulations. Washington D.C. has no rightful place in the process of administering voting. NO! NO! NO!
