Actually:
Article II
Section 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
Chapter 1. Presidential Elections and Vacancies
Return to 3 USC Ch. 1, Table of Contents
§ 1. The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.
Failure to make choice on prescribed day
§ 2. Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.
A uniform date for choosing presidential electors was instituted by the Congress in 1845
In 1845, the United States was largely an agrarian society. Farmers often needed a full day to travel by horse drawn vehicles to the county seat to vote. Tuesday was established as election day because it did not interfere with the Biblical Sabbath or with market day, which was on Wednesday in many towns.
There is no logical reason we need to hold an election in November. We can hold it in December.
Then again, this is the most stupid thing I ever heard of in my life. Arrangements can be made for those affected by Sandy.
But it doesn’t require canceling a national election. The MSM is coming up with this meme because they dread an Obama loss and want to undo it.
Good luck with it!
