The first election I was old enough to be involved with was 1972, and sure enough, McGovern insurgents were sure Nixon was going to cancel the election.
Every so often, some federal agency gets alarmed because there’s no provision or authority for postponing a federal election. The was a big go ‘round in 2004 with Homeland Security and in 2012 there were ‘Directive 51’ claims.
Bottom line is that Dems and RINOs get what they want one way or the other and don’t need elections canceled or postponed.
Agree - especially with your last sentence.
