No. But I would challenge your assumptions:

I would challenge your challenge. The law and historic precedent don’t count for much any more. They will bend it or break it enough to prevent losing control of Congress. There are several scenarios I can think of.

1. Gerimandering a victory. I doubt that will work but it will tilt.

2. Voter suppression. Still not enough but another tilt.

3. Sending federal agents into key congressional districts on Election Day to suppress or cancel the vote. Whatcha gonna do?

4. If it all seems to be failing before the election, manufacture a major crisis, declare an insurgency and invoke the insurrection act. The Supreme Court will give it the nod, and the election will be postponed indefinitely.

5. If all this fails, declare another emergency and physically prevent the new Congress from being sworn in January 2027.

All these things are illegal, and they are all possible, even probable.
