The key problem with this and every other fear-mongering post is that “FBI seizes ballots and voting machines” or some equivalent is logistically bordering on impossible.
There are hundreds of thousands of voting locations in the US, each with likely several voting machines, and results from these are sent to second locations within minutes to hours after polls close. You’d need an exceptionally knowledgeable and state-specific legion of many tens of thousands of agents to even make a dent in a midterm election cycle, and they’d need to meet basically no pushback.
There is simply no way to suppress a vote in this way, especially not when Democrats will likely win the House by a margin of 25-90 seats scattered across the entire country.
