Ebola-hit Liberia has suspended its nationwide Senate polls after the election commission admitted it would not be able to stage the ballot safely, according to a government statement.
Almost three million voters had been due in polling stations on Tuesday but organisers said there was no way a "mass movement, deployment and gathering of people" could go ahead without further endangering lives.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was exercising powers under a state of emergency announced in August "to suspend... any and all rights ordinarily exercised, enjoyed and guaranteed to citizens", the foreign office said in a statement issued late Wednesday, quoting a presidential proclamation.

Coming to America!!!! Obama is rubbing his hands with GLEE!!
Obamacare was passed by ONLY DEMOCRATS in both HOUSES!! NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR IT!!! Take note and don’t just say it was passed by Congress, Please.
We just say "Bingo,"
In this particular case, the poster I responded to mentioned that Congress had the right to do so. I was pointing out that in the bill, Congress approved it. Whether it was all Democrats will matter little once the autocracy takes over.
:)
I hope this doesn’t give Obozo any ideas ....
Not to blatantly disagree with most of the commenters here, but what about online voting - no issue with crowds and disease then...
Ok, who is the statistician who can work up the numb3rs and figure out if this is even possible here. Take for instance the fact that infection HUBS are major cities which are all democrat.
Cancel it in the cities and let the small towns and rural areas vote.
At least they have a legitimate president who is doing what can be done within their governmental and cultural limitations. I would not be amused if the druggie in our White House postponed our elections with the excuse that the outbreak he is working so hard to create made elections unsafe. There is no acceptable reason for postponing our 2014 or 2016 elections. None. The survival of our nation depends on removing the traitors from office, and I would face Ebola to vote against an Obama-supporter.
Coming to America soon...
If flights are not stopped from the Ebola epicenters, then make sure that everyone who gets off any and all places planes from Liberia and Guinea and all adjoining countries be taken by hazmat units directly to the White House to shake the hands of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and their two girls. He’s putting U.S. military, airplane personnel and pretty much everyone else in grave danger and assuring the spread of the disease worldwide.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
PING!
