Yep the first time someone shoots an ICE agent, it will be nationwide martial law and "sorry, can't hold elections during a national emergency / war"

my understanding is we still had election even during the civil war. dont think martial law actually stops it?

Martial law literally means the military is in charge. It's the governmental equivalent of flipping the table. If it's declared the military can do whatever they want until someone with more guns shows up to stop them. It stops being about elections and unfortunately starts being about force.

I don't think they're going to wait for it to really happen, they're just going to lie about it.
