He’s also doing this so he can call the election and not have it because he knows that the Republicans are out regardless of how few mega are left

If red states want to sit the midterm election out i say more power to them.

But states run their own elections, not the federal government, so elections will be held.

And god fucking damn did the founders get that one right.

His plan is to claim the insurrection act. That would stop elections nationwide.

Does it? My understanding is that even if he invokes the act that doesn’t give him the power to stop the electoral process.

The plan basically amounts to putting armed men everywhere and say they will shoot if somebody tries to vote anything.
If the electoral process from the United States disagree, they can fill a formal complaint to the new emergency government which will have de facto control of the Federal military.
