    Yup. This is exactly it. All of it as a way to set up a situation to declare Martial Law and then shut down the mid-terms from happening.

      If the Civil War didn’t stop elections, martial law won’t. The states will just hold elections anyway.

        Maybe it won’t stop elections. But it will influence voter turnout in a way that’s unfavorable to blue states.

        You’re right, martial law won’t stop elections, but will they use martial law as an excuse to stop elections? We’ll see.
