In my opinion, this is a quite irrational idea. I won't be commenting further unless it becomes a fiasco.

Perhaps, it is irrational and far-fetched but the possibility is becoming far more conceiveable.

Another situation of "damned if they do - damned if they don't". I can just imagine the cacaphony if the Bush Administration didn't raise concerns and put programs in place to protect the election process - and then the election were disrupted with a series of terrorist attacks.
I also see a correlation between people who promote such conspiracies as in the original post and those who loudly claim that Bush did not do enough to prevent 9/11.

I do believe Bush did what he could, we were not prepared for what happened and had no internal defense mechanisms in place. We do now, unfortunately it took 9/11 to get us there.
And yes, your point about the elections damned if they do do anything to protect us and damned if they don't is valid.
However, I just don't think we'll make it to the elections if it looks like Bush is going to lose. Martial Law is a Constitutional right of the president.
