    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’d be spread far too thin for that.

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

          They fucked the way shit is postmarked, making it so they can throw away lots of votes

          They are absolutely looking to disenfranchise voters

            They are trying to do that, yes. We get our ballots about a month before the due date. As long as you don’t wait till the last minute it’s not an issue, and even if you do, then just take it to the post office and have them postmark it then and there.

            I agree they are trying to fuck with mail in, but they really can’t do much, which is why Drumph keeps bitching about it.

              Then it isn’t accurate to say they didn’t do anything to mail in voting.

            “looking to” is not the same as “have destroyed” just to be clear

              Agreed. They haven’t destroyed it yet. But they’re slowly whittling it away.

      The electorates still need to travel to Washington DC to certify the election.
