    Could shutting down the government somehow be an election stealing tactic by Republicons? How would that impact the government’s ability to ensure fair elections.

      The elections are run by the states, not the federal government. Congress keeps working during a shutdown. I can’t see how it would hinder the election.

      It would have unpredictable effects on the election though, so I can’t imagine they really want to risk it.
