If they talk about postponing the election, we should talk about moving it up.

[Captain Zero]

Maybe that would shut them up?

Also, Why couldn't we talk about moving it up ?
It would make a longer transition but they will need the time to do that correctly anyway.

1. Good idea.

2. Not possible.

'Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled, That the electors of Presi- Election day
dent and Vice President shall be appointed in each State on the Tues- fixed.
day next after the first Monday in the month of November of the year
in which they are to be appointed.'

3. The date is set by an act of Congress.

It hasn’t changed in more than 150 years and it’s not going to change now.

4. So what electoral vote totals do we see if Repuke state legislatures cancel their elections...

and appoint the electors instead? Read the “in case if no election” section.

This scenario has happened before. Colorado, 1876.

I would hope it doesn’t happen, but it is a remote possibility.

5. It would make us look as foolish and ignorant as them.

6. Why do we keep hearing this? Only Congress could change the date of the election.

8. What good would that do?

Trump is legally president until 12 pm on January 20, 2021 no matter when the election is held.
