Those pesky "national emergencies" can really screw up an election, you know.
By now everyone with two working brain cells knows, or pretends not to know, that Democrats cheated on a colossal scale to get Whisperin' Joe into the White House. So it's safe to say that Republicans, having wised up to the Donks' stratagems and skullduggery, will capture both House and Senate in next year's midterms. Right? Yes. That is, assuming elections actually take place on November 8, 2022.
Who doubts that Democrats, with a death grip on power now, are capable of anything to keep Pelosi and Schumer on top and Biden's cabal in the White House calling the shots? Well, in a takeaway from those absconding Dem Texas legislators, you can't be defeated if you don't show up for the game.
Fixing a presidential election proved simple; given the number of candidates involved, rigging midterms would be a reach. An alternative? Regarding national contests, things gets complicated, but here are two money quotes from a 2004 Congressional Research Service report on federal elections: Congress would have the power, by statute, to "postpone ... House and Senate elections," and "Congress could enact a statute delegating the authority to postpone an election to the Executive Branch." Justification for either action? "Terrorism," "calamitous events," and the ambiguous "national emergency" — such as, say, civil disorder on a massive scale leading up to Election Day.
Consider this scenario: on November 6, 2022, two days before federal elections, mayhem breaks out in New York, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and other blue cities across the country. Masked provocateurs roam the streets, damaging property, assaulting innocents, fighting the police officers confronting them, and targeting polling stations for burning. To sow confusion, a few are wearing MAGA hats. M

huge wins in the house

That’s the past. Live in it.
Looking forward - there is nothing to say that past wins, which did not change to balance of the House, will continue; thus permitting the balance to change in the future. Some sock puppets wins to keep the masses happy and contented, believing that absolute power, once achieved, will be relinquished to the mob’s whims.
Whether or not Congress can ‘postpone’ the 2022 election is debatable. What Congress can’t do is change January 3, 2023 and on that date the fact that one third of the Senate and all of the House of Representatives seats will be vacant.
I never thought of that.
If you don’t think they are going to do everything in their power to steal the midterms I have a bridge to sell you. The deep state can not relinquish their power now that they have stolen it. Everyone knows they stole it! And if the opposition ever regains power again the deep state know they will be in deep sh!t.
Could and will steal it unless 2020 is fixed and Il Donaldo returned to office.
Democrats cheated on a colossal scale repeat to ebsue.
