    I would think the bigger issue would be whether the winner would have any legitimacy.

      Constitutionally, it wouldn’t be an issue. We’ve had presidential elections where candidates weren’t on all states’ ballots., and elections that had to be decided by Congress.

      Public perception would be a different story.

        Ok, that was my understanding as well. With the level of tensions right now, it seems that whichever side loses is unlikely to accept the results.
