8. It's like everything else he does, he's setting up for the next thing

There is absolutely no mechanism, legally or operationally that he can do to nationalize the elections. What he's going to do is sign an EO doing it and he will get a couple of red states suck up to him and say "this is fantastic thank you golden god for saving us". Then when the election happens like it should he will declare that since CA, NY, IL, MN (throw in a few others for good measure) didn't follow his EO those representatives were not legally elected they will be barred from the capitol. Johnson will have enough coward GOP members vote for a rules package and elect him speaker again.

All of this is unconstitutional of course but they don't care and who is going to do anything about it?
