Although the midterms are typically referred to as federal elections, there is no federal entity that governs the conduct of elections in the United States. There are basic election laws governing the timing of federal elections and basic nondiscrimination laws, but in general, elections are governed by state laws. And it is across the states that there is wide variation in how people can vote.
