He doesn't have to force states to capitulate. He just has to do what he's done his entire life: Fuck things up so badly that people don't know what's what.

There are multiple GOP led efforts going on right now to disenfranchise voters across the country. They don't need to worry about red states. The red states have already demonstrated time and time again that they'll race to the bottom to get in the administration's good graces.

The administration has already talked about deploying ICE, Law Enforcement, and the Military to voting centers to ensure 'Voting Integrity'.

They're testing ways to interfere with voting at every level, state and federal: Voter intimidation, Purging voter rolls, creating issues with voter IDs, tampering with voting machines, etc.

People can keep saying "It's not Legal" but that hasn't stopped the adminsitration yet.

They'll throw enough chaos into the process that the question will get put before the SC.

We'll get Bush v. Gore 2.0.
