I certainly have no evidence or reason to believe they are looking at it seriously
but if they were, they woulndt be announcing it
they would want to dot all the i's and cross all the t's before making any moves
and if they are smart they would start with a local election and have a local candidate ask for a recount, so they can have cover.
