Mostly because a cancelled election would at least temporarily empty the House. And all Senate races would be cancelled as well. And more Republicans would be ousted which turns the control of the Senate over to the Dems. All this going on while each state is trying to figure out the electoral college. Ya in?
Nope. I don't see where this is in the constitution . The 22nd amendment concerns more that two terms as Pres. DT hasn't completed one yet.
What I'm suggesting is a moratorium on ALL elections and all expirations. That ought to save a few lives. You should be good with that, yes?
