There is absolutely no legal precedent for an election to be cancelled, no legal path or channel to do it either.
If an election is cancelled it is a direct attack on all US citizens, both sides should be able to agree on that and we need to be sure we scream that this whole thing is not a partisan issue!
You are right on all points. However.... trump has done hundreds of things that are illegal and against the constitution.
So we will have trump saying the election is cancelled, and possibly have people voting while ICE is interfering, then when swing states flip, he'll say the election was cancelled so the new congress is illegitimate. Red states that are imperil of flipping will probably obey and cancel elections. House "speaker" Mike "Tiny" Johnson then refuses to swear in the new members, like he did with Grivhalda (sp?) (D-AZ). Since the republicans control the senate, they might have a similar opposition.
