BRIGHT RED LINE. We have never suspended elections, not even during the Civil War, and we won’t now, either. And even if they do suspend elections, most states won’t comply, even some Red states.
Let’s see them try to take the elections away in only certain states, and enforce it using ICE or some other militarized Federal organization. That will be the beginning of the Second Civil War.
They don’t need to take the elections away, they can just post ICE agents nearby “to stop illegals from fraudulently voting”. It will put off many, and they can also wrongly arrest a bunch until the polls close then let them go again.
That is actually something you can legally fight back on. By federal law voter intimidation is a “clear and present danger”. Stopping someone from going to the polls is a very literal “fuck around and find out”. Calling the police on ICE for doing it will just be an optional courtesy.
