Could Next Week’s Election Be Delayed By Sandy?

Posted on October 30, 2012 at 9:58am by Mike Opelka

--- 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.”

A particular state might be able to delay its election by a few days, but they still must report their Electors to Congress on the same day in December.

It's unlikely that any states that might swing the election will defer their elections due to the emergency.
