  • Well, there is some wiggle room, as the date of Federal elections is determined by Congress. The current election date is set by statute. So, it can be rescheduled with a statute as well.

    However, the term of Congress is set by the Constitution. And House seats, in particular, must be assigned based on election results. If the election is postponed into the New Year, then all House seats would be vacant. So if a Federal law either abolishes or postpones elections so they cannot be certified in time for the new Congress to convene, States would immediately challenge, and Blue states would probably hold the election on time anyway, anticipating a ruling in their favor. We may end up with a new Congress controlled by Democrats, only because Red states never held elections.

    It would get a fast track to the Supreme Court, and then who knows? The outcome might depend on what gratuities are promised by both sides…


  • He realizes exactly what’s going on, he’s counting on it. It wouldn’t surprise me if he is working through back channels to ensure that Iran launches a major terrorist attack in October. He needs that to try to cancel elections.

    Zelenskyy has been President all this time, after all, because they suspended elections while his country is being actively invaded. Trump heard this and thinks it can work here, too. It shouldn’t work here, but who knows? Congress has abdicated it’s ability to declare war to the President, they might just concede their ability to schedule elections too.
