Thankfully, a President has no authority to order a revote. If there is, please provide some source.

The Guarantee Clause of the U.S. Constitution, also known as the Republican Form of Government Clause, is in Article IV, Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

POTUS can also invoke the Insurrection Act himself, or at the invitation of others. Fake elections means the death of the Republic.

So...Trump would be guaranteeing a Republican form of government by declaring martial law and enacting a police state?

***************

It is hard to imagine that there are legislators who are OK with the death of the republic. Despite what they may think, their progeny and the families of their friends will be living in a much different country that bears no resemblance to what they are accustomed to. Tyranny may be an abstract concept to them now but it won’t be for long. Lots of pain and hardship will accompany our national decline and descent into chaos.
