From Reuters today, in Newsweek tomorrow.
Bush administration's homeland securtity Dept, wants the "New Election
Assistance Commision" [est 2002] to find a way to suspend the Nov. election
in, case of an attack by the Boogie Man, Al-CIA-da or any other reason they
can come up with.


Somebody needs to remind the Department of Homeland Security that
there is no "November election" - it's "elections"; 51 of them, to be
precise. (If it was just one election, we'd probably have a different
President.)
As for moving the day on which the Electors cast their votes, all that
really takes is a Congressional law to change Title 3, Section 1 of
the United States Code. The only problem I can think of is, if there
is no election before January 20, 2005, then the 20th Amendment
(unless it was changed by the 25th, but I can't find anything in the
25th that applies to this case) says that the Congress decides who
acts as President until there is an election...but there may not be
anybody in Congress if there was no November election (does Louisiana
still have its open vote system?).
