And what I said is that FEDERAL LAW preempts state regulations in the area of FEDERAL ELECTIONS, For federal law to preempt state law in this area, there would have to be a specific law or set of laws which do this. The constitution does not itself preempt this. It doesn't directly outlaw such state regulation. So what federal law (empowered by the constitutional doctrine of preemption) does outlaw state regulation? And if there is such a law why does every state regulate every federal election?
