The president has no legal powers over elections, per the constitution. Only states can hold elections.

Of course Trump and the GOP can try all sorts of voter suppression, which is what they're doing now.

What if Trump were to say elections are illegal due to the war. We need to delay them. And Republicans in congress did nothing. And the Supreme Court decided not to hear any cases related to it. What then? We’re learning the US government has basically no teeth to stop something like this.
