GOP gubernatorial candidate in Virginia calls on Trump to declare martial law (msn.com)

The U.S. has never declared martial law, which gives the military broad powers in a time of crisis, at the federal level. But it has been used in some instances at state and local levels during disasters or times of unrest, such as in Hawaii following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

It's a legal grey area and any effort by Trump to use the military to overturn the election results would be immediately thwarted by Congress or the Supreme Court.

Trump's legal challenges to the election have been broadly dismissed by the courts, including the Supreme Court. The president and his campaign have not been able to prove the wild accusations they've made on social media and cable news.

if he can prove foreign intervention in the election he has a responsibility to call for it and a new election,,,

What the flying fuck are you taling about. It's a woman, and there are no alegations of forerign in6erfearance. Did you actually miss the part about marshal law. Once again you fail to impress with your intelect and anylitical skills

Any Republican candidate calling for the impeached president trump to declare martial law on a whim, will be a big hit with the RWNJs.

Oh, the irony!

I bet you've spent more than a few minutes chanting "lock her up".

people who have committed crimes deserved to be locked up....
disagreeing or having another viewpoint is not a crime except in the minds of progressive control freaks.
They want to destroy disagreement....imprison it.

This isn't the first republican to call for martial law.

While they say anyone who doesn't agree with them are fascists or communists taking away freedoms.

What is with republicans?

Collusion hoaxer.....you called for it when you pushed the collusion lie. The Chinese owned Dominion voting machines have become foreign soldiers on American soil.....it deserves a military response.

It seems Dominion voting machines lean left, while in the 2000 election, Diebold voting machines switched Gore votes to count for Dubya. And you RWNJs worry about the legitimacy of paper, mail-in votes, that cannot be hacked.

Many Republican pols are calling for Trump to declare a Constitutional Crisis and a National Emergency. There's nothing Congress or SCOTUS can do. Their hands are tied and Trump can call for a new election. Everyone would vote in person. No mail in ballots.

Gotta call Bullsh#t on that. As a retired Officer, you know better than that crap. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Just a lowly First Sergeant and see post #41

[d0gbreath]

I almost want these assholes to try it, to convince Trump to try it. It would end Trump and Trumpism for a generation. It wouldn’t be pretty, but at this point it is pretty easy to see how it would end.

Donald knows that declaring martial law would only result in his being arrested by MPs and thrown into the brig.

This is what an answer looks like

united states - Can the US call for a re-vote? - Politics Stack Exchange


The Constitution provides no mechanism for a re-vote of the Presidential election. However, it does provide three mechanisms by which a rigged election can be over-ridden.

1. The Electoral College can collectively ignore the election outcome. Electors are nominally pledged to vote for a given candidate, but if enough of them act as faithless electors, it can change the outcome of the election.
   [*]Congress can reject the electoral votes from states with voting issues. Doing so requires a majority vote in both houses of Congress; this happened in the 1872 election, when the votes from Arkansas and Louisiana were rejected due to voting irregularities.
   [*]Congress can reject the election entirely by not recognizing any of the electoral votes, sending the election to the House of Representatives and Senate as provided in the Twelfth Amendment. It's unclear what "the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three" would mean in the context of an election where zero electoral votes were cast, so it's likely that, in practice, sufficient electoral votes would be accepted to generate a tie.
