He can’t suspend elections, they are managed by the states. He has no say over it. And with over 400 Congressional races, he can’t rig that many local elections. So they are coming up with pre-, during, and post-election cheating strategies.
Before the election, they are trying to get their hands on the state voting infrastructure, for some reason. They raided the Georgia election offices, but I’m not sure what they can accomplish with it. They have some sort of plan, because they are also trying to get their hands on the same materials from other states as well. They may have a plan, but they are virtuosically incompetent, so there is about a 70% chance that it will fail miserably.
Another pre-election strategy is to purge the voter rolls on advance. This was first used by Jeb Bush before the 2000 election, and was very effective in suppressing Democratic votes, so it has become SOP for the GOP ever since. All voters, but especially those in Red states, should know when their registration period ends, and make sure they are still registered to vote before the deadline. They are also trying to ban mail in ballots, which is really stupid, since mail-ins tend to favor the Right.
Also closing polling places in busy areas, while having lots of polling places in rural areas, and restricting early voting.
For the During Election strategies, we’ve been hearing of plans to send ICE to the polls, where they have no jurisdiction or duties (there won’t be any illegals at the polls, they can’t vote), to intimidate people.
Post-election, we can expect them to try to raid certain state election offices before the count is finished, in order to confiscate the voting materials, and do their OWN vote count. They can’t be allowed to do that under ANY circumstances. Governors have to be prepared to send the National Guard, and the State Patrol to guard their Election Offices, and if any MAGAs show up to steal the ballots, and they DON’T have a signed warrant…SHOOT THEM, like they should have done to the DOGE Goons when they tries to get past the lobbies in those Federal agencies. If they claim there is a “DoJ Policy” that legally allows it, that’s a lie, and not how the law works, so if they try to push beyond that without a warrant, they are trespassing on State property, it should be considered terrorism, and they should be dealt with decisively.
