The central government will never permit this. The GOP would lead the charge against the dread plague of SECESSION.
I did a little messing around with the new AI fad at ChatGPT.
I asked it to write a fictional summary of events leading to a clandestine group stealing elections in America.
The reply:
It started with a few small victories in local elections, victories that were shrugged off as flukes or anomalies. But as the years went on, the victories became more frequent and more significant.
It was clear that something was amiss, but no one could quite put their finger on what was happening. Rumors began to circulate about a shadowy group of operatives who were using underhanded tactics to sway the outcomes of elections.
Eventually, the truth came out: a group of wealthy and powerful individuals had formed a secret organization dedicated to manipulating elections in their favor. They used a sophisticated network of agents, hackers, and propaganda to sway public opinion and influence the outcome of races at all levels of government.
The revelations sent shockwaves through the country, and there were calls for investigations and reforms. But by then, the damage had been done, and the group's members had entrenched themselves even further in positions of power. The future of American democracy was in doubt."
Permit? States secede. They don’t ask persmission.
