I don’t want to change your thread to Politics — but just wonderin’

Has an election date ever been extended due to weather?

No.

Maryland Governor O’Malley (D) has cancelled early voting for Monday, due to storm. Can’t Maryland citizens determine to stay inside on their own?

It wasn’t POTUS, but didn’t 9/11/01 fall on a primary or something in NYC?

I don't see that there would be any need to do so. The storm will hit a full week before the election, and even last year when we had over a foot of snow dumped on us the day before Halloween, the major roads were clear the following day, the minor ones a day or two later, and most folks had power within a week. I don't think the winds are going to be high enough to cause THAT much damage, but I have no idea about how power lines will hold up in the Mid-Atlantic states, which seems to be the area that will get the brunt of the storm.
