At this point I'm pretty sure the republicans are banking on suspending all future elections. They have to know at this point their odds of winning legit after this is 0.

Posts asserting “He. Can’t. Suspend. Elections,” noting states and localities run their own elections. Documents mention that a federal actor cannot suspend state elections, that cancelling elections could disenfranchise millions, that blue states could proceed independently, and that if some states don’t hold elections terms still expire and Congress would include only those elected.

Suspended election is what they've been after all along.

No, they don't. Because there is no way to "suspend" any election.

He can’t suspend elections… if he wants to disenfranchise millions, that’s fine but blue states can ignore him & conduct their elections as usual. Nor can he suspend a state’s government.

Yeah, but the federal govt has nothing to do with a state elected its representatives to Congress. Granted he doesn’t give a shit about that but the elections are run by the state.

Nothing in martial laws says no elections.

Plus, 🇺🇸 had elections during WWII. This suspending elections is an idea 🤡 got from Ukraine. There is ZERO precedent in the US for canceling elections.

Just wait until he calls for a delay or cancellation of the 2026 national election. Who’s gonna stop him, that’s what they’re thinking.

Trump has no power to suspend elections but anything for likes I guess.

The urgency is midterms. It’s why there’s an escalation instead of a deescalation.

Can't a PM still request the Lieutenant Governor to hold early elections?

States and localities run their own elections. If Republicans suspend or cancel their elections and don’t send any representatives to Congress, terms still expire and Congress would be comprised of only those who held elections.
