So here I am, getting ready to travel again. Oh joy, oh rapture, oh bliss. At least the B.H. is at the other end of this particular journey.

I note with alarm--but not surprise, because I rather suspected that this would happen--that the current administration is looking for ways to postpone the election in case of terrorist attacks. Like terrorist attacks themselves, I do not believe that this is a partisan issue--I would like to believe that any Republicans reading this are as horrified as I am that an elected government would consider interfering with the regular workings of American democracy (clunky though they may be) for anything less than total catastrophe. Such a thing would be nothing less than the establishment of a tyranny.

But even if only one major city was affected on Election Day, does that not mean that the vote count would be called into question and we'd have problems anyway?

But if only one major city (or even more) were affected, wouldn't we know that, and wouldn't we be able to compensate for that rather than postpone the election?

My question is *how* do we compensate for it, and that's what I hope is being discussed. I don't want a postponement and will oppose one.
