Do you think Republicans have plans to suspend next month's elections?

Question

There were plans to do this for Nov 2004 if there was a terrorist threat. I kid you not!! Check this article:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/07/11/election.day.delay/index.html

Answer 1

First of all, your stupid. Secondly, a political party has absolutely no authority to suspend or even delay elections. And thirdly, no one in the article said they were going to do it. Notice in the article how it says it may need to be done due to a potential terrorist threat. And the question wasn't will they do it, it was how would we go about doing this if it were needed. i.e. who has authority, which government body makes the call, etc.. I mean did you even read the article or did you read the headline and figure it slanders republicans and makes them look bad so it must be good for your cause?

Answer 2

If there is a contingency that makes suspension of election necessary, they better have plans.

If Katrina had hit at election time, the Dems would have howled that by having the election as scheduled, it was to disenfranchise those poor blacks who had to flee the flooded neighborhoods while the dry white neighborhoods could vote.

If NYC were to get hit by a terrorist on election day, since it is largely liberal, would you still want the election to go on. And if the Dem lost, would you accept that decision even though New Yorkers didn't get to vote or couldn't vote?

No, I didn't think so.

Answer 3

Now wait a minute, If there is a viable terrorist threat during the elections, this would serve only to illustrate to the voting public just how important it is that we not subcontract our defense to the United Nations.
Therefore, why would the GOP want to delay an election in a scenario where they would surely win!

Answer 4

No, that's just a paranoid and silly idea.

And they didn't have plans to do it in 2004 - the question was raised regarding what do to if the country was attacked just before or during the election, and what, if any, mechanisms or authorizations were in place to postpone (NOT suspend) the election if such and attack occurred.

Personally, I think it is a good question, because a significant attack could significantly affect peoples' ability to vote.

Answer 5

So your saying that we wanted to protect voters from terrorists. Well isn't that a good thing. And now you are speculating. There is no plan to suspend elections. Simply no need. Keep trying to spread your propaganda I'm sure some Lib will think it's a fact

Answer 6

They don't have plans to suspend the election and I doubt that they ever really did. This is about creating fear. Make people afraid to vote. Make people afraid to fly. Make people afraid of the boogeyman in the closet. A fearful nation is an obedient nation, a nation that doesn't want to change its leadership and a nation that will tolerate an insane, insurmountable debt.

Answer 7

no but ive long predicted that there will be some made up or real disaster just before the presidential election...and yes in times of disaster the president can call martial law and suspend an election.....

Answer 8

Can't be done! Your a fool to believe the crap from sorros and moore and the stupidest radical extremists.
But! you want to bet the Democrapts will call foul and recount and otherwise feel sorry for themselves again?

Answer 9

this was in the article

"We've had elections in this country when we were at war, even when we were in civil war, and we should have the elections on time. That's the view of the president. That's the view of the administration," she said. "No one is thinking of postponing the elections."
