I'm bringing this over from an earlier thread.

• The new election is held over a weekend with the polls open 24 hours per day;
• Everyone votes in person showing proof of identity, residence and citizenship;
• No absentee or provisional ballots are allowed;
• All votes are recorded on paper;
• The National Guard is federalized to handle responsibility for security of voting places, ballots and tabulation;
• The 2nd Amendment is invoked so that former military personnel act as Unorganized Militia deputized to assist the National Guard;
• The Armed Forces are sent into cities where vote fraud and anarchy present a threat to an honest election.

I see no way other than your scenarios. All the other constiutional and legal methods and precedents all assume a functioning fed government and state governments. As of Jan 3 no house, 2/3 Senate, and state elections are also rotten.
