Talk of delaying the elections already out there.

Jay "Baghdad Bob" Carney was asked about the election being delayed or postponed due to the weather.

He said basically no comment. So you know its already in the works.

Re: Talk of delaying the elections already out there.

impossible, federal law says it's impossible

the only thing they can do for the affected is let them submit absentee ballots afterwards

No, it does not.

The power of Congress to protect the integrity of the Presidential election,
combined with its authority to set the time of election, would also seem to provide the Congress the power to postpone elections because of a national emergency

Patra, you didn't post your source. So, my question to you is, Are you trying to deceive us, are you referring to a different quote, or are you relying on a biased website for your info? Please reply.

In his answer below, it's quite clear that he simply "does not know the answer to that question." So, where is the talk of delaying the election? What's your source?

Will Obama Cancel the Election? Find Out By Clicking Here!

Q: Jay, some of the utilities are saying that the power is going to be out in some areas for up to 10 days, which would obviously include Election Day. Is there any contingency planning to alter the Election Day schedule because of this?

CARNEY: I think that is not something I’m able to address...

Q: Would the President have the power to adjust Election Day?

CARNEY: I don’t know the answer to that question. I think you’re getting way ahead of yourself here.

Well, believe it or not, there are states in the country - most states in fact - who are not affected by this storm. So I don't see anything that constitutes a "National Emergency" going on.

Re: Talk of delaying the elections already out there.

i think just doing late absentee ballots is enough , not delaying the election
