If no one here has asserted there will be no election on Nov. 4, please allow me.

No Election = Civil War. I'd go for a boycott, but never a delay. The DATE CERTAIN is as engraved a part of the Constitution as any other word. There is simply no alternative, no exceptions. We have no national election. This is a shared agreement between the states. There is no mechanism for a national vote. We elect Electors.

Once we go down that road, there's no going back. The Constitution of 1787-89 disappears into a puff of smoke.

I don’t believe that’s true. All the Constitution specifies is that there is to be ONE voting day, all throughout the United States and that day is to be specified by Congress.

So, it can be changed to whatever they want, but Congress would have to do it.
