    Dude - the ULTIMATE ploy to steal an election has always been to declare martial law and declare yourself President - which is LITERALLY what you
    have just called for Trump to do.

    And the amazing thing is that you are totally ignoring the incredible irony of your OP.

    Just the opposite but thanks for pointing out Maduro came to power in a rigged election as democrats are attempting to. This must be stopped.

    The election was rigged
    What is your proof of this rigged election?
    Um...well...I heard someone somewhere saw something. That's enough proof, right?

    Do some homework. Read how Johnson stole his Senate seat, an act that ultimately led to his presidency and the Vietnam quagmire.

    Then you stop it in the courts. You don't declare martial law and proclaim yourself President - that's as Banana Republic as it gets.

    NOT going to happen per the CHAIRMAN of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon!

    That comes from the very PINNACLE of the US Military.

    In essence YOUR biggest LOSER*-in-Chief can go pee up a rope as far as the military is concerned.

    If Dems steal elections, they are really bad at it. See 2016 in all elections, the Senate in 2018 and 2020....

    Democrats investigate Trump four years looking for a crime to prosecute

    Election process is over and it's fraudulent. Only way to save our democracy is a new election.

    There are enough never trumper GOP representatives in key states with very close numbers that it could easily give the Democrats the edge.

    I'm advocating throwing out an illegitimate election.

    And courts would decide in the pause year which gives us time to investigate and prosecute.

    They did, indeed. Did they refuse to allow a transition, though? Did they claim Obama would declare himself dictator for life?

    Do two wrongs make one right?

    All you ever have is straw men. One year pause is not dictator or for life. Make an intelligent argument or go away.

    Fair enough, if courts find evidence of systemic fraud convincing enough they should disqualify the states and if no party gets to 270,the election will be thrown to the house. And let the chips fall where they may.

    Based on feelings instead of facts. You, like Trump, are incapable of showing evidence of your claims, so instead you advocate Trump becoming a dictator.

    There is no constitutional basis for a one-year pause.

    Here's a fun fact - Nancy Pelosi becomes president on 1/20/21, if the EC doesn't make a decision.

    Oh, joy - President Pelosi.

    Excuse me, I have to go throw up, now.

    The courts aren't going to simply "disqualify" entire states. Not going to happen.

    The US Constitution does not allow for a "pause year".
    Either the vote is certified, or Congress picks a President and VP - and if they can't do that, then the Speaker of the House is put in office.
    Only Banana Republics ignore their constitution to keep people in power.

    It isn't a straw man. You can make as many excuses as you want about how you are only supporting a dictatorship for a year or so, but you are still openly calling for a dictatorship.

    Martial law would enable Trump to disregard the sham election and call for a new one. A year seems reasonable to find and prosecute the criminals and organize a new election process with appropriate safeguards.
