Oh, and by the way YOU cannot delay the election. A little problem called the Constitution stands in your bloated way.

part of the Constitution? He has ignored that, with the gop blessings for 4 years now. Maybe Vlad Putin needs an extension to secure the interference from his bloggers?

If he and his minions want to ignore it, and not vote, that's fine. The rest of US will be voting.
