Could Next Week’s Election Be Delayed By Sandy?

--- According to FEMA’s chief Craig Fugate, the delay in restoring power might play a role in the upcoming election. From his comments to the press last night:
“We are anticipating that, based on the storm, there could be impacts that would linger into next week and have impacts on the federal election.”

As a way to solve the national debt crisis, North Carolina Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue recommends suspending congressional elections for the next couple of years.
“I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover,” Perdue said at a rotary club event in Cary, N.C., according to the Raleigh News & Observer. “I really hope that someone can agree with me on that.”

If the government can’t come up with enough generators to run an election then we definitely need new government.
Title 3 chapter 1 USC...Just ignore that, I guess...
Sounds like a recipe for vote fraud.
A few years back an urban group spontaneously asked a St Louis judge to keep the polls open in da Hood until 10 because it was allegedly very busy. Miraculously that district delivered big for the D candidate.
This election should not be delayed for anything.
We don’t need election. There is no requirement.
Absolutely not. There is no Constitutional reason for delaying the election, and Obummer better not trying doing it by an executive decree.
If he wants to kick start the revolution, that would be the way to do it.
As Mark Steyn has said - a future dictator of the United States will never need to declare martial law. He will only need to declare a weather emergency to keep everyone indoors, and Americans wouldn’t venture out until they are told its all clear.
I am in Upstate NY - and for a week, all we heard about was how bad the storm would be for us, even though we aren’t close to the ocean.
All we had was a some moderately heavy rain for a few hours, that’s all - and yet the hype convinced everyone to close the schools, cancel all events, and scare everyone into buying up supplies.

You know this is coming.
I can see it now:
Voters denied their right to vote due to flooded streets and polling places. Polls will remain open for one week to ensure a “fair” election.
“Absolutely not. There is no Constitutional reason for delaying the election, and Obummer better not trying doing it by an executive decree.”
Obama won’t delay the election but you can be certain that
the Democrats will just delay the count in those hurricane affected areas.
And any guess on what the final counts for Democrats will be?
This is over-hyped the the max. I’ve seen worse disasters at LegoLand. Do we really need Christie running around singing Obama’s praises, or the Shepster covering this until its dead? It was a bad thunderstorm, people need to get over it, because the MSM is just using this fake disaster to cover up Benghazi.
Obama will win NY and NJ anyway. No need for a delay.

Obama ends up taking New York and New Jersey?
That’s a joke, right? She did not really say that did she????
We had elections in:
1812 - during the war.
1856-1868 - Bleeding Kansas, the Civil War/War Between The States/War of Northern Aggression, reconstruction.
1932-1936 - Depression
1944 - World War II
1968 - 60's unrest, RFK, Nam
1972 - Nam
1980 - Iran
2004 - Iraq
2008 - Financial disaster
What's a natural disaster compared to these where a change in power dramatically affects matters.
