only one little problem ... the objective may not be the election. The election maybe is an afterthought in that the objective is to possibly give a reason for ‘their ace in the hole’ to sign an executive order banning the election. Thus their action(s) accomplished objective then the law abiding side is placed in the unsettling position of being in reaction mode. Prayers it goes the way you stated Beagle and I’m all wet. Too many variables to be positive of which way the lefts plan could go (imho).
We had elections during all the big wars, including the civil war. Riots won’t stop elections.
