    It really is also a states rights thing. The federal government, by design, has no say in how elections or driver’s licenses work.

    That they have stepped in to the driver’s license space is an overstep of their authority, honestly.

    The federal government is not the sovereign entity, the many states are.

      That’s no longer true, the 14th amendment effectively made the constitution sovereign over all the states, period. That’s how incorporation works, otherwise states could have handgun bans again like in the 19th century.

      The feds have nothing to do with driver’s licenses. States have agreements to honor each other’s licenses.
