There was nothing wrong to begin with. Like our system of voting, until Trump arrived to muck it all up with lies about voter fraud

One thing I’ve noticed in 6 years of Trump: when he tries to cheat, he bumblefucks it spectacularly. Martial law doesn’t provide a mechanism for cancelling elections. I think it would have the exact opposite effect - turnout is already going to be high, that would send it to the stratosphere.

He could absolutely *try* to declare martial law. It’s been telegraphed so much, and there’s clearly no national emergency. It would be knocked down by a court almost immediately.
