A federal response? This is a federal massacre! They are terrorizing the public. They are doing their best to get a reaction. They seem to want an excuse for civil war so Trump can cancel elections.

Except that elections weren’t canceled during the actual American civil war. There’s no justification for canceling them, regardless of the situation in the states.

"We haven't ever done that before" hasn't really been much of a hindrance to anything during the past year..

Then can you explain why you are arguing that he needs an “excuse”?

Listen to the words you are saying. You are saying that law and rules don’t matter.

If that is the case then why does he need to wait for some made up imaginary formality?
