Of course there will be elections. Everywhere has elections, even if they're obviously undemocratic (which the US elections always were). There's zero reason to change that, and elections are a very useful tool for influencing and controlling the public.
Also, who establishes a dictatorship in their 80's? He's gonna die soon anyway.
This is one of those things where it's less about reality and more about what it signals. Libs are signalling how important they consider elections to be, and trying to either scare people into voting or get them to appreciate being able to vote.
