Opinion - A MAGA plot to keep power in Congress if they lose the election?

Trump and leading MAGA figures are aggressively demonizing Democrats and pushing tactics (from voter intimidation to attacking mail-in ballots) that could depress or delegitimize votes.
A little-known constitutional rule gives each chamber the power to judge its own elections — meaning a slim House majority could refuse to seat newly elected members and trigger chaos.
With many House races narrowly contested, only a clear landslide is likely to prevent a replay of 2020-style disputes; otherwise the 2026 midterms could produce a constitutional crisis.
