    This is a terrifying precedent, though. If it becomes demonstratable that a sitting president can ignore the vote and veto the election, then every president from then until the end of time can argue against the “damage” the next president will cause. This was Hitler claiming “emergency powers,” and you will immediately have a dictatorship, not a democracy.

    I’m not saying another Trump presidency is “fine” by any regard, but I don’t believe in being a fascist to prevent fascism.
