It should be noted that the Republicans in both the House and Senate just voted overwhelmingly for the war against Iran. So, actually, Congress has weighed in -- Republicans are wholeheartedly in favor of this war.
“Donald Trump cannot order your local elections officials to do anything because your local elections officials do not work for him.”
I’m puzzled how anybody could come to this conclusion. Because many election officials do think they work for him.
There are people who run elections at the State, county and local levels who have loyalty to him.
And some states might cooperate because they’re controlled by Trump loyal legislatures.
An example that just happened a few days ago is during the Senate primary in Dallas. The county level GOP made changes to which polling places you could cast a vote so hundreds of voters suddenly couldn’t vote at the same polling places they were used to. They had to go somewhere else. Changes like this might turn a close election.
So I think this could definitely happen. I think there’s an article in the New York Times about this today, Sunday, March 8.
I'm tired of waiting for the arrival of a distant voting day. We need something like what most parliaments have: A vote by Congress of no confidence in the president after which we go into automatic election mode. Alternatively, we who are concerned can join together in small discussion groups (six individuals) where we can talk to one another about the serious issues. We cannot keep these discussions restricted to political parties because they are acting like teams that like to play games. Each small discussion group can go further and "randomly" associate itself with eight other small discussion groups and form a council consisting of eight reps with each member from a different small discussion group. I use the word "randomly" as an important step toward defeating the polarity in our country's politics. We need to hear from all points of view. Each rep will report to the other reps what his/her small discussion group is talking about. And each rep can report to his/her small discussion group what the counsel is talking about. That makes 48 people if you're counting. There's nothing stopping these 48 people from helping to set up Town Hall meetings with their Congress person (or members of his/her staff). We can ask questions and demand that we get answers. And there's a lot more that can be done. Think about it !!
Does the president have the power to cancel elections during “ war time” ?
If so now we know why war?
NOBODY IS COMING TO SAVE US.
STAND UP!

He wants to destroy people for money and has and will continue

Someone please tell me I’m wrong!
