I was just before reading Alexander Hamiltons very words on that subject. In dealing specifically with the language as to "manner of holding." Hamilton wrote in the Federalist. No. 60: Many things are prerequisite to elections or may affect their outcomevoters. education. means of transportation. health. public discussion. immigration. private animosities. even the face and figure of the candidate. but authority to regulate the manner of holding them gives no right to control any of these. Nothing could be clearer. The point of law not only was established by the framers of the Constitution but also every court in the United States. both Federal and State. passing on the language. has held time after time that the language of section 4 of article II. relating to the time and manner of holding elections. goes to procedure only. and not to who shall vote in the election.
