You are right about that. It was not needed when we have an electoral college system that can easily overcome the will of the people.

Now to get to the OP's point, I have no doubt that Trump will do everything in his power to disrupt the midterm and the 2026 elections. Start a war in the Middle East? Deploy National Guard en masse in the weeks before the elections? Assign part of his private goons to watch the polls to ensure that we have a "fair election"?

He could do any and all of these things and more now that the SCOTUS has given him unlimited power.

And the people in this country are braindead enough to stay away from the polls huddling in fear.
