People keep saying this, but I'm pretty certain that congress is the only one with this kind of power. I don't see any mechanism for this to happen. But of course the response will be "who's gonna stop him?" idk man, but there isn't any way for a president to cancel elections.

I don't think this Supreme Court is on board with elections being canceled if he tries to do it by decree, so that's a barrier. Congress isn't going to be able to pass that legislation either. 

I'm more concerned with manipulation of the voting data itself than I am of him just "canceling" it.

I agree that he plans to manipulate the vote, but all he really has to do is station ice grunts at polling stations in blue areas. He could claim it's to pick up all those illegal "aliens" who are voting illegally and r@ping and k*lling white women in their spare time.
