    Elections are controlled by the states. They can’t cancel them, they can only ask the states to do so.

      They’ve already destroyed mail-in voting, so on election day they will put soldiers in front of polling places to physically prevent people from voting. It’ll be significantly easier with martial law in place.

        That would likely mean civil war. For instance, I can’t see the Lighthorses (Tribal Police, technically somewhat federal in jurisdiction) where I am from allowing that, and I imagine there would be similar resistance elsewhere.

        They haven’t done anything to mail in voting. I get my ballot. The states control elections, not the federal government.
