I can’t even begin to imagine the logistics of a repeat election, even a fair one. Boggles my mind... Do you really think that could happen?

As I understand it, martial law occurs with the stepping down of the President, the military takes control and holds a fair election, the new president is elected and sworn in.
President Lincoln demonstrated that martial law occurs without the president stepping down.
Proclamation 113—Declaring Martial Law and a Further Suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus in KentuckyJuly 05, 1864
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
[excerpt]
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws, do hereby declare that in my judgment the public safety especially requires that the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, so proclaimed in the said proclamation of the 15th of September, 1863, be made effectual and be duly enforced in and throughout the said State of Kentucky, and that martial law be for the present established therein. I do therefore hereby require of the military officers in the said State that the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus be effectually suspended within the said State, according to the aforesaid proclamation, and that martial law be established therein, to take effect from the date of this proclamation, the said suspension and establishment of martial law to continue until this proclamation shall be revoked or modified, but not beyond the period when the said rebellion shall have been suppressed or come to an end. And I do hereby require and command as well all military officers as all civil officers and authorities existing or found within the said State of Kentucky to take notice of this proclamation and to give full effect to the same.
The martial law herein proclaimed and the things in that respect herein ordered will not be deemed or taken to interfere with the holding of lawful elections, or with the proceedings of the constitutional legislature of Kentucky, or with the administration of justice in the courts of law existing therein between citizens of the United States in suits or proceedings which do not affect the military operations or the constituted authorities of the Government of the United States.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington, this 5th day of July, A. D. 1864, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty- ninth.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
By the President:
WILLIAM H. SEWARD,
Secretary of State.
I can’t even begin to imagine the logistics of a repeat election, even a fair one. Boggles my mind... Do you really think that could happen?

This isn't my own reasoning. When I heard Mike Flynn use the term, "limited Martial Law" I had to look it up because I'd never heard of it. It describes the process of the military conducting a fair election. I think I've assumed we all read this content before and this is what I have had in view since that time.
Tonight, I haven't searched far - I know Flynn's is/was on video talking about it, but I'll use some content he linked from his Twitter, which I believe has since been deleted. The content Flynn linked in his Tweet is still present on a 3rd party website and describes the same idea of "Limited Martial Law" that I'd heard/read Flynn talk about.
Below is a thread post which contains an excerpt:
Mike Flynn: How About Some “Limited” Martial Law And A Military-Run Election Do-Over?

Follow the link in his tweet and it’ll take you here, where you’ll find this:
When the legislators, courts and/or Congress fail to do their duty under the 12th Amendment, you must be ready Mr. President to immediately declare a limited form of Martial Law, and temporarily suspend the Constitution and civilian control of these federal elections, for the sole purpose of having the military oversee a national re-vote. A vote that assures a fair election in every jurisdiction and reflects the true will of the people. Federal candidates only. Paper ballots. No computers. Hand-counted with both parties watching every vote. Only registered voters. Photo ID to prove residence. Conducted safely with everyone wearing masks and six feet apart, just like we did in Ohio. Only then can the winning candidate be accepted as legitimate by a true majority of We the People who must give our consent to be justly governed! Unfortunately we are at a point where we can only trust our military to do this because our corrupt political class and courts have proven their inability to act fairly and within the law.
You must also act, like Lincoln did, to silence the destructive media’s one-sided propaganda designed and proven to influence the election outcome, and end the unlawful censorship of Big Tech, to restore the confidence of the American People in our electoral process or we cannot continue as a nation. Failure to do so could result in massive violence and destruction on a level not seen since the Civil War. Limited Martial Law is clearly a better option than Civil War!
The piece begins with a reminder that Lincoln imprisoned newspaper editors and political critics during the Civil War, in case you’re wondering what Flynn has in mind in that second paragraph. I say this in all sincerity: I’m surprised that Trump hasn’t retweeted Flynn today or tweeted out a link to the “We The People” page with some sly comment attached like “Interesting idea!” It’s an uncharacteristic show of restraint, especially now that his cronies have begun to turn up the heat on what they’ll support to keep him in power.
