The Founders totally meant for college sports to be mentioned in Article II.

In this administration? Nintendo. They might have top lawyers that Trump's DOJ fired.

That's of limited effect. Maybe they could withhold state employees' witholding, but that might also screw the employees pretty bad.

But California, for example, doesn't really have a way to impound the Federal withholding of tech employees in the state.

Dallas Democrats requested extended voting hours due to confusion at polling places and a judge granted it. Republicans didn't request an extension and Republican precincts also didn't have the confusion.

Texas AG Ken Paxton got the TX supreme court to overturn it.

"If Democrats are truly a threat to the GOP and not clearly the controlled opposition party then why aren't the hitting the off button on electorialism?"

Federal income taxes don't pass through State hands. They have no way to shut them off.
