Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

States control elections. Donny can fuck off.
Yeah this will be shot down so fast, I’m not worried at all
....by whom?
As right wing as the Supreme Court is now, there's no way they allow this. They've already shot down less overt shit he's wanted.
Even if they do though, I don't think the Democratic States would comply regardless of a SC decision saying so. It is so clearly unconstitutional that I think they would outright refuse that interpretation.
Even if they don't comply, it will be used to muddle the veracity of the elections. Maybe he'd just ignore the results from those states. And by the time all THAT is sorted, it will be too late and we'll be even MORE fucked than we already are.
The judicial system
He's going to say his people have to run blue states, and if they don't go along with it he'll try to say their elections don't count.
Then have congress just not come into new session to seat anyone.
Even if the article didn't explicitly talk about it it's weird how many people really can't see that coming and legitimately think he'll start following both letter and spirit of the law.
Not saying that he won't try, but the president has no (constitutional) say in the sitting of congress.
I looked it up and in Powell vs McCormack (1969), the Supreme Court ruled that the speaker of the house has no authority to deny a representative sent by their respective state. So, unless the current Supreme Court decides to overturn that precedent, it would require a 2/3 majority vote of the newly-seated house to expel someone, assuming I've understood correctly (which is questionable).
Tl;dr: I think even this couldn't necessarily prevent folks who win in November from serving.

Buddy...
You don't think John Thune and Mike Johnson wouldn't listen to trump if he says to not call the new Congress into session?
How the fuck can someone be so authentically naivie in 2026, to think the mastermind conspiracy of that is just too far fetched?
Like, you might as well have said:
I legit can't tell if that's a typo or brainrot. But you still don't understand any of this
