U.S. officials have discussed the idea of postponing Election Day in the event of a terrorist attack on or about that day, a Homeland Security Department spokesman said Sunday... [DoJ Office of Legal Counsel spokesman] Roehrkasse said the recent discussions were sparked by intelligence indicating al Qaeda wants to "disrupt our democratic process."
In other words, in order to protect our democratic process from terrorist influences, we're looking at giving terrorists the de facto power to postpone elections at the last moment. Do I really have to explain why this is a bad idea?
