Last time he was in a position of power, he tried to organize a coup against the US government. It's not a stretch to think that might be his starting point.

RepubliQan staffed voting approval boards that change the outcome

Blatantly unconstitutional laws to prevent minorities from voting (even more than they have now)

Troops at the polls

Some of these are already passed in red states.
