This is why there will be a false flag attack on US soil and elections get “postponed”.
100% this is gonna happen.
There is no precedent of postponing elections in the U.S. There were elections even during the American Civil War.
There was “no precedent” before for a a LOT of things that that are currently happening right now. Precedent isn’t going to save us.
All that means is it’s yet to be set. That’s it. No one’s done it yet. Keep relying on laws and an old piece of paper to protect the US and there will be plenty of new precedents.
If elections ever get postponed/canceled I’m following Lincoln’s advice and saying whatever country attacked us has won whatever war they were fighting

There have been examples of postponements of elections for emergencies (most notably, the mayoral primaries in New York scheduled on September 11, 2001 had to be postponed for 14 days later), I’m not aware of any instance of an actual changing of swear-in dates being postponed.

Fuckery can still happen, but I’m more worried about threats and governmental terrorism that suppresses votes on the election day that moves forward as scheduled rather than actually moving the election schedule itself.
