I thought about this possibility, but there's just no way they can let Trump retake the presidency. He's got a much better idea what he's up against and he's going to go to work right away with a chainsaw and a sledgehammer. He's had four years to make plans and shape the battlespace.

You can see that this is understood implicitly by many, underlying certain statements they make, as if he will take power on Election Day instead of in January. That's when the Rubicon will be either be crossed or it will not, with this exception....

So Kamala is going to lose bigly even though there's going to be rigging in her favor bigly. Given all the foregoing, the only way to play that is to expose the rigging but leave out who it was in favor of. Then they just wave their hands around about having to redo the whole thing next year because "the American people deserve a fair and honest election and will settle for no less".

That will buy them time for something to break their way, like a nuclear war or some such. You can't lose as long as the game continues, can you?

I think They must look back and realize this is the gambit They should have run back in 2016. Given the controversy, a lot of people would have went along with it. It's way more obviously lopsided now than it was then. Few will be inclined towards accepting it or even putting up with anyone else that does.

EDIT: I came across this variant gambit right after posting:

Martin Armstrong: Can Biden Declare Martial Law To Suspend the Election? (10/23/2024)

Lots of detailed legal history with the conclusion:

Therefore, reviewing these decisions, I would have to say that while it would be controversial, the government could call this a necessity if they can get Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran to declare war or attack before the election or certainly before January 20th, and they could declare Martial Law. Hence, the Democrats, in the hands of the Neocons, could carry out their coup, suspend the election, and seize the country as Zelensky has done in Ukraine under the same theory. They would need to close all courts, including the Supreme Court, out of NECESSITY, real or manufactured.
