Title 3, Chapter 2, Section 2 of the U.S. Code specifically states as follows: Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct. So it's right there in black and white. If there is an attack in Houston, the Texas State Legislature decides if electors can be chosen and if not, they decide what to do about it. This is an issue at the state level. The Federal Government has nothing to do with making the decision about postponing the election under the law. Any attempt to do otherwise is an illegal postponement of the election unless Congress passes a new law. That took me five minutes to locate with a Google search. Seems to me, Soaries, Ridge, and Ashcroft need better researchers (and maybe you!). Walter E. Starr Aurora, IL
