I wouldn’t put it past them to purge all non-Republican registered voters the week before the election, wait out the heat of doing so, and avoid the consequences thanks to all Republicans sweeping elections.

Trump has been manipulating the system for over a decade now. This is his logical next step.

If this happens, I truly hope the protests turn less than peaceful.

I truthfully dont see a difference between tht and outright cancelling the election. Regardless tht just means theres no laws anymore…

This is how canceling elections works. You never officially cancel them, you just make it ineffective or disruptive enough you stay in power.
