Part of Voting by mail

The Constitution lets each state set the times, places and manner of holding elections for Congress, and lets Congress make or change those rules by law. Should Congress set one national rule for federal elections on who can vote by mail and when mail ballots must arrive, or should each state keep setting its own?

One national rule. A voter's options in a federal election should not depend on which state they live in, even if some states must change rules their own voters chose

Each state decides. States run elections and answer to their own voters, so each should set its own mail rules, even if a voter's options differ from state to state
