In time for the 2026 election outcomes to be controlled through the FEC and EAC, not to mention the US Postal Service and David Steiner, who is a lawyer from the state of California -- that in itself means CA might have to lead the vote count fight for mail in ballots.

The FEC administers and enforces the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), which imposes limits and prohibitions on campaign contributions and expenditures. When potential violations are detected through complaints, audits, or referrals, the FEC has the exclusive authority to conduct civil investigations and enforce compliance.

Then the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), established by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to improve the administration of elections can
Change guidance and standards for election equipment and procedures.
As a clearinghouse for election administration information, change that information.
Change its accrediting voting system test laboratories and change certifying voting systems.
Selectively administer federal funds provided to states for complying with election requirements.

In 2026 all the dictator has to do is make the calls to those three agencies, not to governors, and not to Congress. Democrats in the House and Senate will have to make serious contingency plans to fight him in court.
