The answer is no, fear mongering aside. Actually the answer is “give me an effing break with this bull”. THEY WILL CANCEL THE ELECTION has been the nonsense refrain of malconents for ever. Libtards though Bush would cancel 2004, cancel 2008. People on our side thought Osama would cancel 2010. The Governor is not calling Osama with a pardon. NH, PA, VA, any Eastern state we want or need to win does not have the total rat control of the state leg and Governorship to pass election delaying legislation (if they were actually thinking about it seriously which they aren’t unless they are retarded).

If in the future a massive ‘cain hits ON election day that could delay it in a few states I guess like 9/11 delayed local NY elections (it was election day). Extremely low odds.

A better question is can Osama use this to steal the election by “shucking and jiving” with “statesman-like” disaster relief efforts and reminding us all how Bush “let Black people drown” in Dread Katrina or will entry of super boring hurricane news into the news cycle halt the momentum of the indomitable hopefully soon to be KING MITT.

Now if Osama loses 270-268 cause he loses NH by 50 votes and rats sue cause poor New Hampshirites were too busy wringing out their undies to vote it won’t matter either. Republicans do and will still have the House, the ultimate arbiter of any dispute over electors.

As as aside, you can’t name a hurrricane “Sandy”, give them mean sounding names for crap sake. Like “Michelle” or “Rosie O’Donnell”.

Better yet give them all Arabic names. ;p

RE:”THEY WILL CANCEL THE ELECTION has been the nonsense refrain of malconents for ever. “

Rush pulled this nonsense in 2010. He joked that Obama would stop that election. I remember thinking "Oh brother". Don't forget how the Fairness Doctrine would shut down talk radio. About 20 posed threads here claiming that in early 2009.

As this article indicates it takes congress to move the date that the electors are selected but what if a certain state delays their election? Does that hurt them, do they lose their electors or can they just choose their own electors without an election before that date? That is what I was asking.

The closest we have come was that NYC postponed its mayoral PRIMARY, held on 9/11, for obvious reasons. It was rescheduled for two weeks later. Some think this delay hurt the liberal Mark Green and favored Bloomy.

In 1864, with the nation AT WAR on its own soil, we still held a national election. Lincoln furloughed Union troops to come to the cities and vote for him.

They should've called this one "Bitch."
