    The real question is how will he stop states from moving forward with their results?

    Edit: for example he publicly states he does not accept the results of democratic elections, then everyone just gives him a thumbs up and does it anyway. He can’t keep up with a nation, even his whole administration isn’t moving forward that fast

      We can imagine a dystopian scenario where a sitting US president loses an election but claims he didn’t. That the election was rigged. Then he sends a mob of people to storm the legislature, either to pressure the vice president not to enact the election results or to have him killed along with leaders of the opposition before he does (the traitor!).

      I mean we can imagine something like that happening if a truly deranged person was president, but why would we.

        Only to eventually swear her in because if not the government would remain shut down and the supreme leader wants his bs budget

      I suppose he could try to have his incompetent personal army arrest any candidate he thinks cheated.
