It's not exactly going to be easy for the Republicans this time. People know what they're up to and the Democrats are prepared with legal responses every step of the way. Luckily the voters have managed to keep the most powerful would-be usurpers out of office and Congress set up some serious roadblocks. And Trump isn't president so he won't have the government available to do his bidding. But if the election is very close and it ends up in the Supreme Court as Bush v. Gore did, there is a very good chance they will hand the presidency to him. They clearly have no care for whatever legitimacy they once had.
