"of a Bush administration idea to obtain the authority to delay the November presidential election in case of an attack by al Qaeda,

U.S. counterterrorism officials are looking at an emergency proposal on the legal steps needed to postpone the presidential election in case of such an attack, Newsweek reported on Sunday."

Note it says delay, NOT cancel. This is from the first post in the thread, and is what we are talking about. No-one except you seems to think the election would be canceled.

But, if you can't vote, because of an attack, would you want the chance to be able to vote at another time? What if the attacks are only in Democratic contrlled precincts? Shoud we just let the count stand of those able to make the polling places, and disenfranchise the rest of you? Or do you want to see the results first, and then decide whether to hold another election?

The time to make these decisions is now, before the election.
